Happy 100th Birthday

[sally_maria]

My family has been celebrating today, as my grandmother has reached her 100th birthday.




We didn't have a party but friends popped in throughout the day and my brother came up from London for the occasion. We had champagne and cake and Grandma enjoyed holding court and receiving presents. I had stitched a picture of a countryside scene - since she doesn't get out very much any more, I thought she'd enjoy having it to look at.





We're now leaving her in peace to recover a little, but there is still plenty of birthday cake left.

Wow. Congratulations to your gran! The card from E2R looks quite cool.

Thanks. The card was nice. Of course, she also got a telegram from David Blunkett, but you have to take the rough with the smooth. ;-)

The queen sends cards for 100th birthdays. That's neat. All we get here is a metion by a weatherman on one of the morning shows. :)

For 100th birthdays and 60th wedding anniversaries - they have a whole department at the Palace.

Mentioned by a weatherman? Well, it's nice to be on TV I suppose.
