Seniors Day Out - SDO

Kayleen from Orewa

๐ŸŽจ SENIORS DAY OUT โ€“ A STEP BACK IN TIME ๐Ÿก

In May, we visited the McCahon House Museum in Titirangi โ€” and what a fascinating experience it was! Itโ€™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. ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

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

And in the photo โ€” yes, those are the boysโ€™ bunk beds, which astonishingly had only three walls, opening out onto the bush. Thatโ€™s right โ€” the fourth wall was nature itself. ๐ŸŒฒ

We began the day with a lovely lunch at Deco Eatery, where good food and great company made it a day to remember. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฌ

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

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐ŸŒฒ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if itโ€™s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
