Who is Britain's oldest blogger?

Olive Riley, world's oldest blogger

Farewell Olive Riley, who's just died at 108. She was thought to be the world's oldest blogger, born in the town of Broken Hill, in Australia, in 1899.

She posted more than 70 entries about her life since she began her blog, The Life of Riley, in February 2007.

Sadly her blog is struggling to cope with the amount of traffic today, so we can't read posts entitled, 'Olive learns Spanish' and 'Someone peed on the fish' - but hopefully sorted soon.

It got us wondering who Britain's oldest blogger is? Any nonagenarian or even centenarian bloggers documenting their lives online?
