Phyllis celebrates 100th birthday
Out of the countless number of greetings cards given this Valentine's Day, Phyllis Bradshaw, of Wainfleet Care Home, can perhaps lay claim to having received the most significant.
This is because Phyllis’ card came from The Queen and was sent to congratulate her on reaching her 100th birthday.
Phyllis was born in Lincolnshire, on February 14, 1916, the sixth of 10 children (five boys, five girls).
