Ringing in the new year was magical for Cork woman Annette O’Donovan because she celebrated getting married, welcoming her first grandchildren, and marking her milestone 60th birthday in the past 12 months.

Annette, from Mogeely, moved to Killeagh, Co Cork, 18 years ago, which is where she now lives with her husband, Charlie Davis, originally from Cobh. “We met seven years ago, and he took me out for a meal to The Elm Tree in Glounthaune on our first date,” she says.
