Seniors Day Out - SDO

Kayleen from Orewa

🎨 SENIORS DAY OUT – A STEP BACK IN TIME 🏡

In May, we visited the McCahon House Museum in Titirangi — and what a fascinating experience it was! It’s truly incredible to see how the McCahon family lived and created in such a humble, compact space, nestled in native bush and full of creative energy. 🌿✨

We explored a powerful collection of photographs, voice recordings, video footage, and personal writings that brought this iconic Kiwi artist’s story to life.

And in the photo — yes, those are the boys’ bunk beds, which astonishingly had only three walls, opening out onto the bush. That’s right — the fourth wall was nature itself. 🌲

We began the day with a lovely lunch at Deco Eatery, where good food and great company made it a day to remember. 🍽️💬

Every outing brings fresh perspectives, meaningful connection, and shared memories.

Christmas disappointment.

Geoff from Gulf Harbour

People may wish to reconsider purchasing products made by Fyna Foods Pty Australia.
Also found a box of "Tiny Toblerones" was way too big for the contents.
