‘Music is the secret to reaching 105’

A 105 -year -old child has said that singing has made him feel young and he still has an ambition to perform a concert in his care home in Crave.

Ivy Heart is very important for some of them, brought by staff.

After the lifetime of singing in the songs, music and churches, Mrs. Heart said that she could give a run to professionals for her money.

“No, they were not good,” he said. “I almost kept my name down. I must have done it at any time.”

“Life as it comes,” is his advice for the younger generation. “You can do the best with it.”

Born on Crave, Mrs. Heart Bedford Street went to school, where she said she was often brought before the classroom to sing.

When she was four years old, her father despite her death, she said that her mother always ensured that she had money to pay for singing lessons.

“My mother could sing, but she is not like me – upcoming,” Mrs. Heart surprised.

She met her husband, George, in a dance hall of Crave in the mid -20s.

“He was absolutely cute,” said his niece Palm. “They were like a mother and father to me.”

He worked for RAF in Crave Municipal buildings and the pair later moved to Preston, but died a few years later.

The singing continued a passion for Mrs. Heart, which continued correctly through her life, including performing with the Ruchdel band in the Nantvich Civic Hall in 1976.

She returned to Crave in the 50s and became a teacher in a school for boys with learning difficulties.

“I bits them, loved those boys,” he remembered. “I was very sorry when I had to retire.”

Mrs. Heart lived independently till the age of 104, when she moved into the lukewarm Crave.

“He is definitely a character,” said care activist Emma Sparter. “I think everyone should have a little ivy in their life.”
