Doug finds family at Ryman

Jane Winstone Retirement Village

Not all Ryman residents can claim viral internet sensation status – but Patrick Hogan Retirement Village’s Doug Lineham sure can!

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.

Lemond recumbent exercise cycle looking for a new home. It's around 8 years old and in very good condition. We downsized last year and we don't have room for it now, so it's stuck in the container and not getting any use.

Lemond recumbent exercise cycle looking for a new home. It's around 8 years old and in very good condition. We downsized last year and we don't have room for it now, so it's stuck in the container and not getting any use.

I fired it up earlier and it works fine (it's self-powered, so doesn't need to be plugged in). Heart rate monitor strap is broken, but is 'bodgeable' if needed (other brands should connect just fine, though). Look it up online if you need any technical info about it as we no longer have the manual.

It's a big beast, so will need a trailer or van to collect.

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.
