100th Birthday Celebrations at The Manor
/in NewsHuge Congratulations to Joan at The Manor, who turned 100 a couple of weeks ago. A card arrived from The Queen, which has been framed and put on her bedroom wall. A party was held in her honour, with the dining room decorated with balloons and bunting, and tables set out in banqueting style. Friends, family and fellow residents enjoyed party food, cake and a glass or two of sherry. Joan refused to let any harm come to the donkey pinata, so it stayed intact for the duration of the party!
