Dillon Garden's and one of the finest family homes in Dublin, on sale for €4.6 million

What’s in a number? If the number refers to age then what does it matter, merely a measurement of passing time.

I had the privilege recently of visiting Helen Dillon’s garden at No 45, Sandford Terrace, Ranelagh and as she readily told me, she is now 76 and her husband Val, 80.
