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.

Cardrona Hotel (Speights Print) - Framed in ABC Crate Timber

Henry from North Dunedin

Handcrafted in my home workshop, these frames tell a story as unique as the beer they once cradled. Each piece is made from reclaimed ABC beer crates, each with their own tale to tell. The timber, weathered and unique, has been sealed with polyurethane to preserve that character.

Handcrafted in my home workshop, these frames tell a story as unique as the beer they once cradled. Each piece is made from reclaimed ABC beer crates, each with their own tale to tell. The timber, weathered and unique, has been sealed with polyurethane to preserve that character.

I'm a descendant of Charles Greenslade, one of Speight's original founders and the original maltster. So, there's a touch of Dunedin's brewing history in every frame.

Perfect for decking out your man cave, home bar, garage, or even spicing up the living room (I won't stop ya).

Dimensions are 1020x570mm.

Happy to drop off around Dunedin or swing by Ravensbourne for pickup. Get a slice of Dunedin's history with a touch of my family's legacy. Cheers!

Welcome to the second of this series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with organising and decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

This time we are tackling one of the more challenging aspects of downsizing – what to do with gifts and heirlooms. Whether you need to free up space in your own home or are helping someone else to downsize, this is a task that can feel daunting and emotionally charged.

Although it might be tempting to box everything up and hide it away to deal with another day, that just passes the problem down the road to your future self or to your family.

Fortunately, there are ways to downsize gifts and heirlooms that honour and remember the past whilst enabling you to rightsize your life for the present day.
