Iron Lady

A few weeks ago we took two bookings from one 'phone call: a table for eight for lunch today and a table of 12 for Afternoon Tea in July.
And so today the first group came.
We gave them the best table outside. They had soft drinks, then lunch (most of them chose the Tomato and Pecorino Quiche) then cake and tea.
They were with us for almost four hours.
The lovely smiling lady who'd made the booking paid for everyone, so I asked her whether she was celebrating something.
"It's my birthday," she said then leaned in and whispered, "I'm 90."
I asked her her secret?
"Just keep going," she answered, adding "and from time to time eat spinach."

She then drove herself home.
