Doug finds family at Ryman

Possum Bourne Retirement Village

Not all Ryman residents can claim viral internet sensation status – but Patrick Hogan Retirement Village’s Doug Lineham sure can!

It was during the live televised name reveal for Ryman Healthcare’s new Cambridge village on TVNZ’s Breakfast that presenter Matty McClean happened upon Doug.

The resulting hilarious sequence of dry, but complimentary-to-Ryman, one-liners left the audience calling for Doug to have his own show. One fan even touted him as the next PM!

What viewers didn’t know, however, was that behind the droll exterior, Doug was dealing with the loss of his beloved wife Jan.

Hi Neighbours,

I’m thrilled to share that Chapter 10 of my novel Tides of Destiny is now live! I’d love for you to read and enjoy it. Your feedback means the world to me, and if you’d like to stay updated on my blog, please like, share, and subscribe.

I also want to reach out with a small request. As I continue this creative journey, I’m looking to take things to the next level by upgrading to a paid website. This will allow me to access better tools to refine my writing and grow both personally and professionally.

If you’d like to support my journey, any donation, big or small, would make a huge difference. Your encouragement and generosity inspire me to keep pursuing my passion.

Thank you for being part of this adventure with me!

Warm regards,
