Ep 81---
Florence sits down with Dorothy Shannon, the woman behind King House Tea Rooms in Boyle, just as the cafe approaches its tenth anniversary.
Dorothy grew up on a farm in Ardcarne near Cootehall, went to secondary school in Carrick-on-Shannon, and spent years working in catering and hospitality across England, Ireland and beyond before a friend mentioned there was a restaurant going for lease in Boyle. She talks about taking on King House in 2016, the purple and green chairs she walked into, the challenge of going out on her own for the first time, the decision to do a degree in environmental science just in case, and how nine years later she cannot imagine doing anything else. A warm conversation about community, homemade food, loyal customers, and what a cafe can mean to a town.
