New Year Babies 1908

150_TwinsNot only are they celebrating a new year, twins Betty Richards and Jenny Pelmore are celebrating their 100th birthdays!

Born half and hour apart in Manchester on New Year’s Day 1908, the pair have barely been apart since and now live within a mile from each other in Cornwall.

The pair have survived five different monarchs, still both enjoy driving and even took up Spanish lessons at the age of 97 to keep their minds active.

Mrs Pelmore is an accomplished painter whilst her sister only recently stopped keeping bees.
