How many beans make five?
It was a riddle from my childhood. How many beans make five?
The answer was: a bean, two beans, a bean and a half, and a half a bean.
Now there's any another bean out that has set us all a target. The Yorkshire Post reported this week on a lady named Ivy Bean who, at 102, has a blog on Facebook.
Only 31 years to go for me!
