Ailsa Ryder (pictured) spent her 103rd birthday celebrating with family and friends at a very special lunch held in her honour at her home at Seasons Aged Care Caloundra.
But despite boasting more than a century of wonderful experience, Ailsa says that she feels like she’s the same person she always was – just “a bit slower these days”.
“It just feels normal – like I’m 25, no different!” she said. “I’ve had a good life; I have a good family. They look after me like nobody’s business!”
Ailsa says one of her greatest joys in life (apart from her family) has been playing lawn bowls.
And her advice for the younger generation? Ailsa says that the secret to a happy life is to eat more cake. Now that’s some advice we’re more than happy to take on board!
