Here is some more about Jane that she shared before the show . . .

Please share your bio and any information about your business: 
We came to Sligo 11 years ago in the hope of creating a cafe and a life. Little did we know then just how attached to Sligo we would become.
We opened Shells Cafe after working in lots of beach side restaurants and had a strong vision for what we wanted to create, Within a few years we opened the Little Shop - packed with the most beautiful gifts & art pieces as well as a fully stocked bakery & pantry and awesome t/a coffee.
We have created 3 cookbooks - based on our love for food & life here in Strandhill. Co Sligo.

2 years ago we spread our wings & opened a new space in Finisklin - a creative space for food, take away & chats. Located in the heart of Sligo, we provide a strong visual break for all the local workers- a bright, airy space to come & break the day with serious bakes, strong coffee & lots of fresh local food.

What do you love about living in Sligo?: 
Where to start the local landscape is incredible - if you love the outdoors, you will never be bored here. The opportunity to surf daily and such a selection of surf spots. the ease of life- no traffic, no stress and of course great owner run businesses for all your needs.

A better road to Dublin - make us more accessible for city crowds to enjoy Sligo
