Birthday girl

DateFriday, January 4, 2008

Hilda Newson has just celebrated her 109th birthday. She told her local newspaper: "I do not take any pills or drugs and still play the tambourine. My favourite meals are roast dinners and chicken and I enjoy a fruit juice with my meals. I used to smoke 40 cigarettes a day but gave it up 24 years ago when I was 85." Full story HERE.

Well done and happy birthday Hilda! Perhaps you are an example of what is scaring the government - proof that those who smoke do not necessarily die young!

Happy Birthday to her and may there be many more. But when Hilda does go, she'll be down in the stats as a "smoking-related" death.

Honestly! Look at ASH-ists of less than half her age and wonder...

Happy Birthday to her and I wish to her many happy returns !

P. S.
Does anybady know at least one lifelong non-smoker that have reached their 100 or at least 90 birthday.
