THERE were celebrations at Trelana Nursing Home in Poughill last Thursday when one resident celebrated her 100th birthday.

Elsie Wallis, née Poole, who is originally from London, celebrated her birthday at the home with friends and relatives.

Elsie moved to Bude eight years ago to be nearer her son and daughter and her two grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Her husband Robert sadly died in 1977.

Elsie was delighted that her family and friends were able to join her for her special day.

The family expressed thanks to Dot and Clare for providing the buffet and cake, and to the staff who helped make the party such a wonderful event.
