A bumper birthday afternoon tea for Jean
Mrs Hornal has lived in the southside throughout her life. After a stint as a land girl during World War Two — for which she was awarded a service medal — she worked her way up in retail to become an area personnel officer, covering five branches of a large Glasgow company. The grandmother-of-two and great-grandmother of one (as of this year) attends day services with Contact the Elderly, a charity set up to bring elderly people together for afternoon tea — and Jean’s birthday was a bumper edition, complete with cake, flowers and the gift of an antique cup and saucer.
