Seniors Day Out - SDO

🎨 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.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
