It sounds like Vera Dawson and Dora Priestly had an unforgettable 95th birthday celebration! The staff at MHA Moorland House did a fantastic job organizing the event, creating a festive atmosphere with decorations, refreshments, and a warm gathering of family and friends. It's not every day that twins celebrate such a milestone, especially with such a rich history of community involvement and family memories.

The twins’ journey from helping on the family farm to contributing to wartime efforts with fundraising shows a life well-lived. It must have been heartwarming for everyone involved to share this special moment and reflect on the bond between Vera and Dora. How wonderful that their children and extended family could come together to celebrate!

It also seems like the home has a close-knit environment with the support of other residents, making the event even more memorable. What a lovely occasion!
