The latest edition of Leitrim Life has arrived, bringing you a mix of seasonal stories, inspiring people and plenty of fascinating features from across the county.

Our August/September issue has everything you need to see, do and discover as we move towards the end of summer and into the months ahead. From community events and local stories to the incredible craftsmanship, creativity and talent found throughout Leitrim, there’s plenty to keep you entertained and inspired.

We sit down with Kathleen Redmond, co-founder of Slugs & Snails, to hear how she turned a practical parenting challenge into an award-winning Irish clothing brand. Kathleen shares the story behind the business, the inspiration that sparked it all and the journey from an everyday problem to a successful brand.

Food lovers are in for a treat as we catch up with Darren Fergus, owner and head chef of The Selkie in Tullaghan. Darren talks us through his career, the importance of good leadership in the kitchen and his passion for creating dishes inspired by the flavours of Asia.

If you’re looking for a peaceful day out, we’ve put together a guide to some of Connacht’s most underrated historical treasures. So grab a picnic, pack the sunscreen and set off to discover some of the region’s hidden gems at your own pace.

For the lovers of all things handmade, we meet Niall Miller and Brenda McLoughlin of Fuinnseog Woodland Crafts. The pair are helping to keep the skills and traditions of woodworking alive through their beautifully handcrafted games and engaging workshops.

Ever wondered what a local councillor carries around with them every day? We take a peek inside Mary Bohan’s handbag for our In the Bag feature, discovering the everyday essentials she never leaves home without.

And, of course, our Album brings you all the fun and atmosphere from the Effrinagh Crossroads Bonfire Night, where people from across the county came together for an evening of music, dancing and celebration to mark the longest day of the year.

Whether you’re looking for a little creative inspiration, a new local story to get stuck into, somewhere interesting to explore or simply something enjoyable to read while relaxing in the garden, the latest edition of Leitrim Life has something for everyone.
