A cheeky 95-year-old woman had her birthday wish granted and a naked butler served her afternoon tea.
Vivacious Muriel Treszke, from Skewen, had a twinkle in her eye as she ordered a ‘Buffskin Butler’ to celebrate her big day.
And her wish was granted by the nursing home staff when they arranged for butler Matt to serve tea and naughty chocolate-dipped strawberries.
Muriel invited her friend Verna to enjoy the view before asking her to dance.
Muriel said: “It was one of the best days I’ve ever had and one I’ll never forget.”
Spirited Muriel Treszke, from Skewen, had a twinkle in her eye as she asked for a ‘buckskin butler’ to celebrate her big day.
His wish was granted by the nursing home staff when they arranged for butler Matt to serve tea and naughty chocolate dipped strawberries.
The special gift comes after Muriel moved into Cwrt-Clwydi-Gwyn Care Home in Skewen, Neath, South Wales, in April last year.
She told Area Manager Eileen Coyle-Jones her wish before colleagues and fellow residents helped organize it.
Eileen said: ‘The first day I met Muriel, she told me her dream. Seeing that dream come true and the smile on her face was priceless.
Matt served Muriel prosecco along with homemade scones and sandwiches.
And Matt even gave Muriel her favorite chocolate-dipped strawberries before offering to dance with her.
Muriel said: ‘Matt was a true gentleman and I really enjoyed our dance.’
Muriel was also joined by her daughter Ursula Morgan, while house chef Kris made the day extra special with afternoon tea.
Her daughter Ursula said: “I knew the moment I walked in that this was the right home for mum, and this just proves that her birthday surprise has made her so happy, it was an amazing day.”
House manager Lisa Llewellyn added: “I am so proud that we are able to make our beautiful residents’ dreams come true.”
It comes weeks after another retiree fulfilled her lifelong dream of ice skating after spending her entire life thinking it was “not for her.”
Matt served Muriel prosecco to celebrate her birthday along with homemade scones and sandwiches.
Betty Thompson, 98, from Mansfield, has wanted to hit the ice since she was a child, but never got the chance to.
As a child, her mother told her that she “wasn’t for people like us” and put her off for life.
But last month, the workers at his nursing home made his life’s dream come true.
“In those days, certain sports were out of reach for the working class,” he told the BBC.
Jenna Hemmings, who works at Baily House Care Home when Betty lives, said they are focusing on the lifelong ambitions of their residents.
And staff noted that the 98-year-old man, who is severely visually impaired, had become increasingly quiet as the weeks passed.
Betty was asked what one of her lifelong dreams was and she said she wanted to go to the track.

The special gift comes after Muriel moved into Cwrt-Clwydi-Gwyn Care Home in Skewen, Neath, South Wales, in April last year.
As soon as she was told her wish had come true, Betty was so excited and couldn’t wait to plan.
The pair traveled to the Lammas Leisure Center in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, where they hit the ice.
Jenna put on her skates and pushed Betty to give her the experience she always wanted.
The couple smiled as they twirled the floor around and around while chatting with each other and listening to the music.
Although Betty didn’t skate on the rink, that didn’t stop her from trying on a pair of blades.
‘It was a very nice day. I wonder what Mommy would have said,” Betty said.
The leisure center also gifted Betty with a lifetime pass so she can skate to her heart’s content.
speaking to daily news, Betty said: ‘It was a magical day. I just enjoyed going out there and feeling normal, being around other people on the ice.
They didn’t tip me and I had a great time.
