A grandmother with a taste for Guinness has celebrated reaching her 100th birthday. Mary ‘Paddy’ Tipping marked the day surrounded by family and friends at a garden party hosted by the Fitzwarren House care home. She enjoyed receiving presents, balloons, a card from the Queen and not one but two birthday cakes - one of them shaped like a pint of Guinness, which is something she credits with helping her live such a long and happy life. Mary said: “Working for so long kept me active and the daily Guinness never did me any harm.” She still enjoys her daily bottle of the black stuff.
