Dorothy Irvine recently turned the grand age of 100 and we celebrated it here at Rose Lodge with a party and cake as she was surrounded by her family and friends.
Dorothy received a visit from the Deputy Mayor of Great Aycliffe, Joanne Jones, along with some stunning flowers and cards.
In the lead up to Dorothy’s birthday we asked the local community to help us gift Dorothy 100 birthday cards and they did not disappoint, she received over 300 cards.
Thank you to everyone who sent her a card. An even bigger thank you to our local schools and nurseries who all rallied round to make her some cards – she appreciated every single one.
