Gladys Wood had planned to celebrate her 80th birthday with family and friends.
When COVID-19 threw a spanner in the works, Graham Stanton came to the rescue.
He escorted Gladys to five different spots at Wangi Shores Retirement Village, so the residents could wish her a happy birthday while social distancing.
At each spot, Graham played Happy Birthday on his saxophone and residents sang along.
When we phoned Gladys, we checked whether she was a Wood or a Woods.
Topics: Hi Gladys: Are you a Wood or a Woods?
Gladys: A Wood. The Wood people were the ones who went into the forest to cut the trees down. The Woods people were the ones who cut the trees up and sold them.
Topics: So would you prefer to be called Wood? Of course you would.
Gladys: I'm a Wood, yes.
Gladys went on to tell us she was chuffed with her birthday tour.
"It was so beautiful," she said.
"You're not allowed to cuddle and kiss, but I felt a lot of love from everyone that day."
Would you believe it? We would.
Supporting Locals
The Olive Tree Market will run its first virtual market on May 2.
Founder Justine Gaudry said the aim was to "support our creative community" through the COVID-19 crisis.
"This is a way for you to support the artists, small businesses and creatives you know and love," Justine said.
The real Olive Tree Market has been run more than 200 times in 12 years.
Just like the real one, Justine said the virtual market would be a place for people to come together in a social and cultural way.
"Any purchase, no matter how small, will bring a smile to the face of a local artist, designer or maker," she said.
More details are available on the Facebook event page, The Olive Tree Virtual Market.
