Two residents at MHA Briar Hill House in Rugeley have celebrated their remarkable milestone of turning 100 in January. Joan Hollins and Viney Jordan marked their centenaries with special parties organized by the care home.

Viney, who spent her career as a tax officer for the Inland Revenue, fondly recalls her childhood spent living in her grandparents' pub, the Jolly Collier in Brownhills. Joan's celebration included a large family gathering, with four grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, eight great-great-grandchildren, and even one great-great-great-grandchild present.

Both residents received a special telegram from King Charles, adding a royal touch to their celebrations.

Nina Varndell, the activity coordinator at MHA Briar Hill House, shared her joy about the occasion, saying, “Both residents had a great time celebrating their birthdays. It felt very special having two residents turning 100 in the same month.
