A LITTLE drop of whisky goes a long way for 100-year-old Mary Deveny.
The sprightly centenarian, who enjoys a tipple now and again, celebrated her milestone birthday with friends at Nazareth House, in Scholes Lane, Prestwich, on Wednesday.
And as a special treat, Mrs Deveny's son flew over from his home in Toronto, Canada, to be with her.
Mrs Deveny also has a daughter who lives in Ohio and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
A widow for around 20 years, Mrs Deveny was married to Tom and lived in Leach Street, Prestwich before moving to Nazareth House residential home two years ago.
She was a nurse at Prestwich Hospital for more than 30 years and now enjoys listening to the radio.
