We're calling this one "Mabel's Marbles" as she's still got all of them, is bright as a button and was delighted to be in the Show!

Mabel joins us in The Clearing to reveal that the secret to living a long and fruitful life lies in the unwavering support of those who love you, coupled with a love of gardening and dance and the extraordinary ability to survive and thrive despite all manner of diseases that life can throw at us!

Mabel takes us through the touching highlights of her 100th birthday bash, complete with 24 close family members indulging in afternoon tea comprising cinammon scones, fancy cakes and homemade meringues. She opens up about her early life, dealing with childhood ailments, and the special memories of her happy place, Austria.

In this heartwarming episode, Mabel shares her nuggets of wisdom on everything from patience and dancing to resilience during wartime. Hear her speak about the pride she takes in maintaining her appearance, the shifts in fashion across generations, and the invaluable lessons she learned from her grandmother about butter-making.

Don’t miss her charming recollection of meeting Princess Alexandra and discover the immense joy her garden has brought her over the years. This is a celebration of a life well-lived, filled with inspiration and resilience—an episode you won't want to miss.
