Over the weekend, I headed down to Oxfordshire to see a remarkable young lady, Ivy, aged 99, turning 100 in a couple of months. Not only is Ivy one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, she's one of the most active people I've ever seen. Ivy was born in London in 1905, living there all her life, moving to Oxfordshire to be near her son 14 years ago, after her husband Rube died. Ivy has been a friend of my family for many years, meeting my late Nan, Ada Pearce, at 'keep fit'. We've stayed in touch. Recently, Ivy visited the doctor's, concerned that all her friends and neighbours, who are younger than her, take medication, while she takes none. She wondered if she should be taking some... to which the doctor replied, "No, you are fine." Ivy is talking here about going to Spain next year on holiday. A great young lady.
