Exercise is important at any age - just ask Barbara Cruickshank, of Wanaka, who turned 105 yesterday.

Originally from Invercargill and a resident of Enliven Elmslie House since 2008, Mrs Cruickshank played boccia ball and quoits every week, her niece, Enliven Elmslie House activities co-orindator Marisa McAtamney, said.

Mrs Cruickshank attributed her longevity to ‘‘being good’’ and enjoying happy hour on a Friday, Ms McAtamney said.

Mrs Cruickshank celebrated her 105th birthday with an afternoon tea at the facility.
