This is Jackie, who's 84-years-young. She likes jigsaws, crosswords, cakes, sandwiches and plenty of sugar in her tea! She made the trip up to Northallerton from her home in the south east to visit her daughter Dina - and after popping in to Bettys for a bite to eat, they shared this lovely picture with us.
