105

The mother of one of my old school friends has turned 105. Norma Howard's children organised a party for her and even the Mayor turned up and presented her with a message from the King and Queen.

She also has the 100-year message from Queen Elizabeth as well as a commemorative tree in a nearby park. She is the oldest resident in the area. 

When I meet her she always wants to have a hug. Every day she walks to the local shop with a carer to make sure all is well. Lots of well-wishers turned up and she appeared to enjoy herself.

I reckon there is something about the local water that encourages old age.
