    Living an epic retirement means continuing to do what you love, regardless of age.

  • Workshop friendship blooms through ANZAC poppy project

    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.

    “If it wasn’t for the village workshop, we wouldn’t have known each other,” says Roger, who moved into the village in October last year. “It’s been great getting to know Tony. We’ve got quite a bit in common.”

  • 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.
