Ardmore holds a very special place in Olivia’s heart as she has a strong family connection to their.

Her grandfather, novelist and journalist, Claud Cockburn, moved there from London after World War II. Her father, fellow journalist, Andrew was then raised there, but moved to Washington D.C. when he was older.

But growing up the director would spend summers with her grandfather in Waterford, and has fond memories from that time.

While she had plenty to keep her occupied during her stays here, what she really remembers for her childhood in Ireland is rushing in at 6.30pm every evening to watch Home & Away.

As she told the Irish Independent; “We were obsessed with Home and Away, I remember sprinting down the hill to our friends Katy and Sarah’s house, and my sister and I would run in the door to watch it.”

But she didn’t spend her whole summer stuck in front of the TV, most of the time she was out in nature. While staying beside the Irish coast she also loved, fishing, swimming in the sea, and horse riding. And now it seems she offering her kids a similar holiday to her stays from when she was young.
