🎂Happy 100th Birthday to Bijou!🥳

Belated Happy Birthday Bijou. I hope you had a wonderful day x

Have a brilliant day .

100 Yrs - Congratulations again Bijou ( I posted previously on the tipple thread)

Having just caught up with this thread I really enjoyed hearing your snippets of memories and was thinking it would be lovely to hear more of your lifetime memories/advice etc. Ixion then suggested the very same so I am 100% on board for this.

It would be lovely to have a Bijou 100 thread.

Away on holiday this week the opportunity hasn’t been there to wish you a very happy birthday bijou, belated good wishes from me.

My Mum was in the East of London during the war and spoke in a very matter of fact way about standing on a railway bridge to check the house was still there on returning from a night shift. Different times for sure as were living conditions for many. I’m sorry you don’t see neighbours now but delighted GN is there for you.

Happy Birthday Bijou.Have a wonderful day!

Hello Bijou 🎈
So many of us have enjoyed your reminiscences over the years and you clearly enjoy writing about your experiences!
Also, a poster has mentioned how great an insight you give into the lives of our Mums, when we can no longer have our own conversations with them.

I was wondering whether you might care to start your own permanent thread here on Gransnet, something like 'Notes from Bijou', where you could write down any experiences you would like to share with us of your memories over such an amazing 100 years - whenever you fancy!
I for one would find this really interesting😊

What do you and Gransnetters here think?

I think great idea.

I partly started a thread called nice posts or something, because there is such a wealth of knowledge and insights amongst GNs that are never aired or shared in many of the everyday daily posts on GN.

Belated birthday greetings Bijou.Do hope you enjoyed your day.
Love to read your comments and I feel with your vast experience of life have every right to voice your opinion as you feel.
Not wanting to sound an old moaning fuddy duddy but I feel the younger ones have nothing in comparison to our younger lifestyles,material possessions maybe but not without great expense and quality to family life.It is so sad to see the changes in our children's lives.

A very happy 100th Birthday, Bijou!
Have a truly wonderful day!

Hello 👋 Bijou! I hope you had a wonderful birthday, please continue to celebrate it throughout the year! I'm delighted to read that you are still living in your own home at the grand age of 100, what a marvellous achievement. I love reading your posts about your life during WW2. My dear Mum told us stories of the Clydebank Blitz of 1941. She was born in 1929.

Great idea, Ixion, I'm sure many of us would love to read more threads from Bijou.

Fanny, thank you for this very special thread!

Have a wonderful birthday!

A very happy belated birthday Bijou. 💐💐💐xxxx

Congratulations hope you have a very special day 🎂 🌟

Congratulations Bijou. I hope you had a wonderful day and that King Charles wasn't distracted by his coronation and got his card to you on time!!

Happy 100th birthday Bijou! Quite an achievement 😁

Happy birthday, #Bijou. Hope you had a fantastic day.

Belated Birthday greetings Bijou, so glad you had a good day.

Bijou You are a year older than my mum who, had she lived, would have been 99 last week.
She was actually born in Germany so saw the war from a different country but her fear and horror was exactly the same. It’s always the ordinary people who suffer.
I hope you are recovered from all the excitement and look forward to hearing anything you care to write about your early life. If not for us have you considered writing about it for your family? I am sure that children, grandchildren and greats will be fascinated. It’s easy online forgotten things can easily be inserted and you are very able with an iPad or whatever you use.

Many Happy Returns of the Day Bijou.
I hope you are having a wonderful day

Happy belated birthday Bijou and congratulations!

What wonderful news! Wishing you a very Happy 💯th Birthday. Hope King Charles remembered! 🎊👑
