My great Aunty Dorothy celebrated her 90th birthday yesterday and had a party today with all her family and friends. It was so great to be there with her to help her celebrate and see her enjoying herself. Aunty Dorothy married my Uncle Kingsley who is my Granny's brother. She married Uncle King during the war and moved down from Manchester to live with the family in Ilfracombe whilst he was away. Ilfracombe has been home for over 60 years, she's seen her children grow up here and seen two husbands pass away but still has a great life and her social network of friends is really impressive. We had a party on Saturday afternoon where we caught up with cousins we'd not seen in years. Family had come over from Vancouver as from all round the UK. When a mother, grandmother, aunt, step-mother and friend turns 90 you all make the effort to be there to share it with her! Aunty Dorothy has so much life in her, she's definitely got the sense of humour and zest for life which will hopefully see us all celebrating her 100th in 10 years time!
