Happy Birthday to my aunty Win and aunty Marje who are 100 years old today, bless them. They are identical and have always dressed the same. They are both in the same nursing home. There is a lovely big write up about them in our local paper today. The report states that there have only been between 10 and 15 twins in the world where both reach 100 and even fewer identical ones.
What an achievement!

Happy birthday to your aunts! Hope they have a great day. I've got images of them still tricking people who is who lol I believe they did a lot of that in their youth! No more though, one of them is blind and the other has dementia and doesn't even know her own daughter! They used to play bingo everyday until they were 95 until their health problems started, or should I say until old age caught up with them? They were determined that they would get to be 100.

OMG i can't belive that they have both reached 100.(bless) I think it is nice that they have spent their entire life together and now they both are in the same residential home :)together. Happy Birthday :)I used to work in a residential home and sometimes we had married couples that wanted to stay together i think it is so nice.

Are they the ladies in the Mail? Yes they are! I've just read it. I didn't know it was going to be in the Daily Mail as well as the South Wales Argus - how lovely for them. They are the remaining 2 siblings out of 4 (my Dad's older sisters). My Mum was also a twin but nobody has had twins in both sides of the families since.
