My work: Own and run a Country House Hotel
Speaks English and French
Business
Myself and my Canadian husband, Paddy, run Roundwood House, a Georgian Country House Hotel with ten bedrooms and two self-catering cottages in the midlands of Ireland. In my dreams I have many hobbies but in real life have no time for anything except keeping our 300 year old house standing, running our business and bringing up two little girls.
