Word for the week

Don from Parklands - Marshlands

So many people are lunting these days.
It used to be an activity by old gentlemen out strolling.
Nowadays it is the teenagers who have taken up lunting.
Lunting is a verb meaning to walk around while smoking a pipe.
Lunting is what pipe smokers do as a means of stress relief or to relax.
Additional meanings for lunting are emitting smoke or steam from a pipe and lighting a fire, torch or tobacco pipe.
Nowadays instead of walking I see more young people in their cars, with their windows down, LUNTING.
cheers all.

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

The Team from Ryman Northwood Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
