The September/October edition is packed full of fantastic local content
As the evenings grow shorter, there is no shortage of cultural events to look forward to across the county, and we’ve gathered all the highlights for you.
Our picture album captures the spirit of a lively time in County Leitrim, from the Ballinamore and Mohill Agricultural Shows to the Carrick-on-Shannon Carnival and the ever-popular Joe Mooney Summer School.
We’re also delighted to bring you the story of pastry chef Sukhitha Jayasinghe of The Landmark Hotel. From his early days in Sri Lanka to his career in Carrick-on-Shannon, his journey is as inspiring as his creations - and his mouth-watering Baked Hawaiian dessert is not to be missed.
In our Culture section, Ballinamore native Kathryn Toolan reflects on her path from Dublin publishing houses to New York, where she now works as a literary agent. She shares how the local library shaped her teenage years and why the works of John McGahern continue to inspire her.
From food to festivals, culture to community, this edition is filled with the people and stories that make Leitrim so special.
We thank our contributors and advertisers for their support – and you, our readers, for joining us once again.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy this season’s Leitrim Life.
