A PENSIONER who still runs her own hatmaking business at 96 has revealed the secret to her endless energy is eating chocolate.
Ella Bulloch has worked since she was 14 and opened her own milliners six decades ago.
She still works five days a week running the business in Clarkston, East Renfrewshire, helping hundreds of customers look their finest at glamorous occasions such as weddings.
Yesterday she credited her endless energy with eating chocolate three times a day.
She said: “I was at the doctor last week for the first time in 12 years and he was amazed at me.
“He couldn’t believe I was as active as I was and said that I must have a great diet.
“I told him: ‘That’s right – chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate!’
“I love it and have never been a fan of vegetables or fruit.”
She added: “I’ll have a bit during breakfast, another bar at lunch and again during dinner – as well as what I can get my hands on in between.
