On Saturday morning Jono and I went to the Sligo Farmers Market. It's on every week from 9-12 at the IT Sligo. There are all kinds of lovely things to buy including plants, herbs, meat, fish, cakes, breads, cheeses, flowers and even bric-a-brac. I really loved the Leitrim Flowers stall.

An Post Cycling Tour of Sligo

It was actually a really lovely day in Sligo, unlike most of the rest of the country. My... Continue Reading →
