Imagine living next door to a neighbor who is exactly your age and sharing your birthday.
Josie Church and Anne Wallace-Hadrill know everything about it. They also know about longevity – and very lucky.
Both women have lived laterally since the 80s.
The great-grandchildren were also born on the same day in 1924-April 1-According to the news agency.
She added her neighbor to Oxford, in the UK, “Anne was very busy when she was younger – so I was – and I was very productive and creative. She did a lot of painting and tapestry, and she was always busy, and I was always busy doing something else, somewhere else because
She also said, “I don’t think we thought much about the time passing.
Both women were very involved in volunteer and creative activities as their husbands died, the same news source said.
The church man, Peter, passed away in the 1990s and women formed a friendship.
Wallace-Hadrill, who grew up in Hampshire, first moved to the house after her husband’s death, John Michael Wallace-Hadrill, a history.
She taught English at St. Hilda College, Oxford University and served in the royal maritime service of women as a radio mechanic during World War II.
While St. Hilda was a comprehensive college at the time, Wallace-Hadrill said: “We were not forbidden to see men. We were expected to live good life.”
She said she is enjoying being at the university, adding that it was both “a lot of fun and a lot of work,” Swwns said.
After graduation, Wallace-Hadrill worked as a lexicographer for Oxford English Dictionary. “I was always interesting with words,” she said. “It was my trade.”
She was very proud, she said, to receive a medal for her service from the royal navy last year; She was described as “long late” by the representative she gave to her.
Originating from Manchester, Church made its train at Preston Royal Infirmary and recalls the presentation of the National Health Service (NHS). She said the training was “three years of hard work”.
The Church said, “In those days, you had to live, and you couldn’t get married, and it was very strict. People wouldn’t get that kind of life now.”
Her time in nursing during World War II included a “cold” experience of care for German soldiers SS. “They weren’t very good,” Church said. “They didn’t want to take care of us. They were very hard patients.”
She moved with her husband to Oxford so that she could continue his rank at the University College – which was interrupted by the war – and they “live the life of a university”.
Half of the students had been at war, she said, while the other half were new students who were simply matricated.
“Oxford was very strange because each college had a huge consumption of the elderly who would cross the war and were taking their university places,” Church said. “So you will get older men and then 18-year-olds coming from school.”
After marrying, they worked in the church for a while and came after her family. Her husband was a house in the boys’ dormitory school and she was a home nurse – so she had a “interesting” several years looking for 120 boys.
She has three “wonderful” children, she shared: Chris, Pamela and Andrew.
Meanwhile, Wallace-Hadrill James’s son lives in Pole and her son Andrew in Cambridge.
Both women said they did not remember the moment they discovered they were sharing the same birthday – but they enjoyed the celebrations arranged for them last year, reported.
“We live on the most amazing road. Likes as a large, extended family,” Church said. “Everyone knows everyone else. If you have a problem, just give a shout and someone will come.”
“It was great. We had a beautiful day last year,” she said, referring to the 100th celebration of women’s birthday. “It was all unexpected because I didn’t know anything about it. Just just an amazing road. I think we’re lucky.”
As for advice on leading a long life: “Just live,” the church advised. “There is not a lot you can do. You just continue from one thing to another.”
She added, “You do what seems to do to do, and then you do it, and then something else takes its place. You just keep going from one thing to another.”
She also said, “We do not engineer our lives. I think they have just engineered us.”
