Three British friends who are over 100 years old have shared their long-life tip, which involves having a ‘toy boy nearby.’
Phyllis, 103, Daisy, 103, and Irene, 101, all state that they continue to ‘enjoy life to the fullest’ and laugh every day.
Every woman has experienced her fair share of joy and suffering, including lost loves and World Wars.
The three friends, who reside at the same assisted living facility, have now offered their tips for living a century,
which include maintaining an active and happy lifestyle and appreciating family, the outdoors, and clean air.

Daisy Taylor, who turns 104 this month, said she enjoys having her huge family around to help her make the most of each day.
‘Life is fun and we all get together; I’m excited about it.’ I fully embrace life. I don’t like to sit around; I’m always moving.
‘Sitting in a chair is not really my thing, but it’s become necessary these days,’ she remarked, despite the fact that Manor Lodge’s employees kept her occupied.
As per the Chelmsford, Essex staff, she adores activities and has ten grandchildren, twenty-three great-grandchildren, two daughters, and one son.
According to them, Daisy and Phyllis are the oldest students to attend and actively participate in their movement to music classes.
‘Dancing, yoga, cycling… I’ve always attended fitness courses because I think it’s good to socialize.
Daisy boasts that she ‘has a toy boy in another local care home who is 96″ after her 39-year marriage to him ended in death at the age of 60.
Irene Rankin characterizes herself as an ‘easygoing” person who ‘gets on well with mostly everything.’ She has always loved being outside.
‘I enjoy being outside, by the water, and in the great outdoors. I have miles of walking memories. Because they are living things, I have always been drawn to plants and animals.

Irene, who shared Daisy’s occupation of working with machines in upholstery, has always immersed herself
into her passions and pleasurable pursuits, acknowledging that there ‘aren’t many things [she] dislikes.’
Irene, the captain of her school’s swimming team, has always had a passion for cooking, gardening, and swimming.
But the fan of Doris Day claims that music is one of her greatest passions in life. The happy woman ‘dances all the time,’ according to the Manor Lodge staff.
‘I prefer to sing in a unique style. I adore music, and it always brings back such beautiful memories. My life has revolved on dancing, laughing, and participating.
Phyllis Cottrell, the third friend, is 103 years old and still enjoys teaching others how to knit.
Phyllis
has always been active and ‘cannot stand not doing anything,’ much like her two companions.
The East London mother of two lost her first husband, who left the nation to fight in the war, not long after they were married.

She had met him when she was eighteen. For four years, Phyllis reared her daughter alone before meeting Charles, whom she adorably called ‘Red.’
‘Rediscovering love with Red was one of my greatest achievements after 73 happy years of marriage.’
In addition to being a mother, she worked in a variety of jobs, such as laundry and sales, before retiring at the young age of 80.
The mother of three children feels it’s critical to lead a healthy lifestyle. ‘I used to insist that the kids eat their greens.’
But what truly makes me happy is spending time with my family and friends. Additionally, stay warm throughout the winter.
‘Be kind and optimistic—positive attitude is the key to life,’ advises Phyllis, if she could offer any advice on how to live a long and happy life.
