You are invited to join Manawatu artist Graham Christensen at the opening of his latest exhibition 'Rural Life' at The Coach House Museum, 121 South St, Feilding on Friday the 1st of December at 5.30pm.

Graham has lived the majority of his life on and around farms within the Manawatu/Rangitikei region and, now retired, lives on a farm near Ashhurst and paints from a large light-filled studio – fittingly, a converted room at the back of the barn.

In this exhibition Graham takes his lived experience and captures moments in time that many of us will recognise from our own memories of rural New Zealand.

Wine, non-alcoholic drinks and grazing platters will be provided. Entry to the Opening Celebration is free (museum entry fees will apply outside of this event).

The exhibition runs until the 28th of February 2024.

Downsize to a Richer, Happier Life

Julia Wallace Retirement Village

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

This is the first of a series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

When helping people to declutter, Peter never starts by focusing on the stuff itself. Every item in your home has a story, so the first step is to think about what that story is.

Maybe you’re thinking about downsizing as you approach retirement but still have all the artwork and toys and books that belonged to your now adult children, and don’t know what to do with them. Perhaps letting go of that old sports equipment means letting go of a vision you had of yourself that no longer fits who you are. Maybe you’re holding onto heirlooms you have no use for because you want to keep the memory of the person alive.

No matter what your situation is, it’s easier to declutter and downsize if you start by identifying the feelings that underlie your attachment to your stuff before tackling the stuff itself.
