To mark the occasion, tune into A Cuppa Tea with the DBE and dive into “The Great Scone Debate”—an episode dedicated to the origin, tradition, and controversy surrounding the scone.

100 Years Young! Please join us in celebrating Janet Borys, a cherished member of DBE in New Jersey, who just turned 100 years old! Born in the West Country of England, Janet’s life has been nothing short of extraordinary—from working in an aircraft factory during WWII and dancing the jitterbug in secret, to crossing the Atlantic on a troop ship for love. Her story is one of courage, resilience, and a deeply rooted love for her British heritage. This milestone birthday brought a royal surprise: a card from the King and Queen! She’s a proud Brit, a devoted family woman, and an inspiration to all who know her. With two children, two grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren, Janet’s legacy is already shining bright. Three cheers to Janet—here’s to laughter, memories, and the adventures still to come. #DBENewJersey #100YearsYoung #HappyBirthdayJanet #RoyalRecognition #BritishSpirit #ExtraordinaryWomen (fb)
