Shape I'm in: Anne Doyle

Anne Doyle, 61, is thriving on all fronts since she retired as news reader from RTÉ at the end of 2011. Between volunteering as an ambassador for her native county, Wexford, writing short stories and travelling — last stop Jamaica — life has been “surprisingly easy”. She had a flu six months ago. “It was very sapping, and when I recovered I found I was a bit aimless and felt I had to get some structure on my day. But it must have been the flu, because it passed,” says Anne, whose long-term partner is former restaurant owner, Dan McGrattan.

Anne Doyle will open the Active Retirement Ireland Trade and Tourism Show, at White’s of Wexford, on Tuesday Apr 9, from 12am to 6pm.
