The New Year Q&A - Gemma Leahy

1. What are your stand-out memories from 2021?

My nephew being born was the absolute highlight of my year – he’s brought so much joy to the family after such a rough time.

2. Are there any changes in our ‘new normal’ that you feel are worth keeping?

A more balanced work life of working from home and in the office. I genuinely find my days at home at times can be so much more productive.

3. Best film or TV series you saw in 2021 – and why?

Schitt’s Creek was amazing.

4. Where did you holiday in 2021 – and why did you choose there?

I went to Portugal at the start of the year because it’s the only place Boris said I could at the time, and then I went out to Cyprus in September to do some wedding planning for April.

5. What hopes do you have for 2022?

To be married finally and get to come home more freely, whenever I want, without any restrictions.
