299/365: Annie McGuinness, Co. Leitrim

Annie might be a grandmother, but she's never to be confused with a little old lady. She keeps herself busy, on town committees, doing arts and crafts with her grandkids and also a bit of bodyboarding for the craic.

She first arrived in rural Ireland in 1987 and was known as the “Mad Australian”. She brought notions of paper plates to communities who were more used to people going rather than coming.

Annie endured isolation and culture shock, but has found a happy home in Leitrim.
