There were plenty of smiles at Summerset Falls Retirement village in Warkworth on March 29, as family and friends gathered to celebrate Ada Andrew’s 100th birthday. Ada says she puts her long life down to “being good”. “I don’t drink, I don’t smoke. I love my family and they all love me,” she says. Ada says one of her favourite pastimes these days is watching Parliament on TV, but she is regularly disappointed by the standard of dress among MPs.
