    Rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck into an ANZAC project in the workshop has been the perfect way to forge a friendship, say Ryman village residents Roger and Tony.

  • Top tips for a garden that's small but beautifully farmed

    It's one of life's little ironies that, when you retire and finally have time to spend gardening, you might not have the same energy levels to maintain a big garden anymore.

    Many retirees are loath to the idea of abandoning gardening altogether, but are happy to find ways to indulge their green thumbs on a more manageable scale.

    Moving to a home with a smaller garden, or with someone on site to help with the heavy jobs, can be the perfect solution.
