With the 75+ population projected to double in 20 years’ time, it’s more important than ever to choose a retirement village that is equipped to support you when you’re fully independent as well as if you need care.

That’s why Ryman villages plan ahead by offering independent living in apartments and townhouses, assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome care and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care.

We offer a higher ratio of care in our villages so that if your needs change, you have priority access to our care centres.

New flashings were needed, quote given and job excepted and complete. It took one 18 recent school leave and another older man 45 minutes. Great, I thought the job will come in under quoted price due the speed the job was done in. Alas no full price still charged because I was told I expected the quote. Very unethical. Anyway the reason I'm writing is yesterday the leak is back. Is there an honest and reliable person out there who could find the reason for my leak and " fix ". Or anyone that could recommend the same. Thank you in advance for any advice or help.

I have written this compilation in the form of a poem to honour Judith Durham.
I hope you enjoy a blast from the past.

Hey there Georgie Girl,
Are you going on a morning town ride
When the stars begin to fall with
Chilly Winds, Wild Ride and
Red Rubber Ball

The light from the lighthouse
Colours my life
Love is kind, and love is wine
Keep a dream in your pocket and
Whiskey in the jar repeating the words
We shall not be moved

When will good apples fall?
Some day, one day, even
If I had a hammer and
Five hundred miles
I'll never find another you
The Carnival is officially over so
To everything, turn, turn, turn
