However, she always had one eye fixed on home, and after nearly three decades working in London she invested in a farm and retired back home to Ireland. Now 75, she has taken active retirement to a new level, running the 'Tory Hill Herefords' a herd of pedigree cattle by herself and keeping horses, hens and geese. Her grand-daughter Hannah spends one of the most important week's of the year with her, as Catherine prepares for her annual cattle sale and TB herd test. Producer: Hannah Quinn-Mulligan
