Hannah is still living in her cottage and is well

She was quite famous when she appeared on TV.
also got a lovely bungalow from the local council
Wonder if she is still around?

I will go on line and find out.


I've got a feeling after she finally got some warmth and comforts in her life, she died Azure. Not positive though.

Oh, my apologies, I have just seen your post,and I was wrong. Apparent;y she has just celebrated her 90th birthday.
I really thought I had seen somewhere that she had died.
Well I am glad she is still with us anyway.
