A good friend can tell you the best stories, but your best friend has lived through all of them with you.

89-year-olds Kathleen Saville and Olive Woodward put a new meaning to the word ‘best friends’ when they decided to move into the same nursing care home in England.

The two have been each other’s best friends ever since they were 11. The bond between Saville and Woodward is stronger than ever, fortified with 78 years of companionship and love. Ever since they become best friends, Kathleen and Olive always lived at least 10 minutes away from each other.

These lovely ladies have been best friends for 78 years now. They met in school when they were both 11 years old and were seated next to each other in class at Ravenshead School, Nottingham, in 1941.

All odds being in their favor, the pair quickly became best friends and kept the bond while growing up. Family life didn’t tear them apart as well. Both of their husbands worked at the same company, the Coal Board, and so they lived on the same road once again.

These real-life golden girls both lived in the same neighborhood, went to the same school, and both married coal miners.

Now that their 80s are coming to an end, they decided to spend the next chapter of their life like they have always known—together.

Kathleen was the first one to move into Berry Hill Park Care Home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. Olive followed her best pal not long after.

“If I’m unhappy or in trouble, I only have to go to Kathleen and we’ll always end up laughing,” Woodward said. The 89-year-old has just moved in six weeks ago and tells how seeing her best friends “all day, every day” affected her positively.

The adorable ladies are the oldest residents at the care home but they say that, despite actually being 89, they look 63.

They say the secret to their long-lasting friendship is never arguing and telling each other what they think. Now that they’re spending all of their days together, it’s easy for the pair to crack themselves up.

Even though Kathleen and Olive have only been in the care home for less than 2 months, they already have a nickname.

Most of the staff in the facility and their fellow occupants call them the “dynamic duo.”—and rightfully so. Sometimes, the pair will have their share of fun as they ‘play around.’“We don’t cause any trouble in the home, but we sometimes have to knock the staff into shape,” Saville said.

One time, Kathleen raced one of the managers down the hallway for a laugh.“They never stop chatting and giggling,” manager Sally Tebbett, saying that the two are so endearing and you can see how they love each other.
