Looking forward to this tonight. If you're doing nothing else and have any interest in sport, join us in The Central at 8 (it's free admission - you can buy a book or two if you like but no pressure! 😀)

Erm….well, I have something to tell you. Bakealicious is opening a shop in Navan! If you are a regular customer of ours in Sheridans Cheesemongers this may be old news to you, as it seems to have been the world’s worst kept secret down there. We will be residing in Sheridans every Saturday of course...
