We know about the half-Italian, half-Slovenian author, also a centenarian and a lover of sweet, milky coffee. Today, we’ll be looking at the case of the Englishwoman who is a fan of walking and full-fat dairy products, and who still enjoys a dram of whisky at an age when most people struggle to sip still water infused with flavoured aspartame.
