The April/May issue is packed full of fantastic local content

Springtime is finally here, and as the year starts to take shape it gives us great pleasure to welcome you to the April/May edition of Offaly Life - the magazine for Offaly people by Offaly people.

This edition is packed full of high quality lifestyle and inspirational feature content as we celebrate all that is unique about the Faithful County this Easter.

We profile Daingean organic farmer and businesswoman Margaret Edgill about her incredible life sailing in the Caribbean and motor rallying across Mongolia and Siberia while running her successful farm and business.

Best-selling author Geraldine O'Neill, who is also from Daingean, reveals the handbag essentials she never leaves the house without, while the team behind Dolan's Pharmacy in Tullamore discuss running the oldest chemist in Ireland.

You’ll meet resin artist Fiona Scott, who works with wood and metal in her studio in Ballycumber, and the head chef and proprietor of Café India in Tullamore, Abdul Hafeez, who speaks about the journey that brought him from Pakistan to Offaly.

The county is home to a number of nationally renowned family-run artisan food businesses and we look at some of the finest in our Tasting Tips section.

And, as usual, we also profile major events taking place in the county over the coming months, from music gigs to community festivals.
