Margaret Pearson doesn’t normally like to celebrate her birthdays – but made an exception for her special 90th.

Her friends at Verwood House Care Home couldn’t wait to sing happy birthday to Margaret when she celebrated with friends and family on April 2.

Yorkshire-born Margaret says the secret to her good health is drinking plenty of water, eating fresh fruit and drinking apple juice.

However, her top tip is something that can bring everyone joy – and it’s so simple to do.

Margaret said: “You must remember to keep smiling.”

Margaret, who lived in South Africa for many years, has travelled the world, including Japan, Hong Kong, Spain, and France.

She has three children and six grandchildren who she is very proud of.

She added: “I never used to celebrate birthdays, but my 90th is something special, and I think it’s time to celebrate it.”

For her special day, Margaret enjoyed tea and cake with friends and family, as well as a pampering session at Verwood’s very own beauty salon.

Verwood House’s Wellbeing Coach, Emilia Turner, said, “Margaret is a lovely lady, and she deserves a very special treat on her birthday.”
