FAMILY and friends enjoyed coffee, cakes and a chat as they helped Peggy Jarvis celebrate her 90th birthday recently.

Mary Tavy resident Peggy was joined by friends from her keep fit, folk dancing and WI clubs as well as family members and other friends, as she enjoyed a day of light refreshments.

Peggy spent all her working life as a hairdresser, running her own salon in Derbyshire until she retired and moved to Mary Tavy in 1986. As well as hairdressing, Peggy used to get people's hearts pumping as she taught a keep fit class.

The Widow of Frank Jarvis, Peggy has a daughter Adriana, and two grandsons David and Paul.

Peggy expressed thanks to all who attended and for the many gifts, including chocolates and flowers, she received from friends in Devon and Derbyshire.
