Why not treat yourself to a bloke’s day out for a grooming WOF? Just be wary of the barbershop – between the bay rum oil, hot towels, banter, and leather chairs, you won’t want to leave!

Bevis, a resident at Ryman’s Anthony Wilding Village, recently received a gentleman’s makeover. The day began at the barbershop where Bevis and his barber Kohl shared plenty of laughs. Next up, a personal stylist helped Bevis select clothes he looked and felt great in. Being pampered isn’t the norm for Bevis but based on his smile, we’re confident he loved every minute.

Should have full list available by Labour Weekend. Plants have come away really well in the past week even though the weather has not really warmed up. Not ready to plant yet? No worries, we will have plants available up til Christmas. You don't gain anything by planting too early.
Heirlooms are varieties that have been passed down through the generations for their superior flavour. There are some interesting back-stories to varieties like Mortgage Lifter, Aunt Ruby's German Green, and Cherokee Purple and some imaginative descriptions like Monkey's Ass and Dancing with the Smurfs.
They all taste like tomatoes used to do, so try something different and make space for some heirlooms.
