FROM PATIO

to plate You don't spend 35 years in the classroom teaching home economics without having a passion for freshly picked produce and delicious home baking.

The scent of Georgina’s signature Rhubarb, Apple and Berry Crumble often wafts through Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, beckoning neighbours to drop by. Both sweet and tart, Brooklyn agrees that it pairs perfectly with gooey custard or melting vanilla ice cream.

"We’ve discovered that you don’t need a quarter acre to have a good garden," says Georgina.

Having farewelled a large section to move to the village, she and husband John weren’t sure what to expect. They've been delighted to find that the hard work and maintenance are taken care of, leaving more time and energy for them to indulge in what they love doing.

For Georgina, that’s gardening and making the most of seasonal produce in the kitchen. This is a passion that has followed her from the South Otago farm she was raised on to Auckland’s North Shore with John. The pair are award-winning gardeners, taking first place in the Large Urban Garden award at the 2013 Rolleston Garden Competition.

“Wherever we’ve been, we’ve gardened,” says Georgina.

With a laugh, Georgina and John refer to their new lifestyle as resort living – all the amenities they want, minus the maintenance worries.

And they couldn’t be happier.

Their patio of weeping maples, sweet peas, rhododendrons, and fruit plants enjoy a backdrop of native bush filled with tūī and kererū. And, of course, crumble-scented air.

“ Wherever , we've

we've been

gardened

“

Georgina's patio garden is brimming with blossoming fruits, fresh herbs, succulent veggies, and the star of her summer dessert, rhubarb. It’s also where Brooklyn, her 12-year-old granddaughter, selects the produce for her cooking adventures with Nana.

Season with salt.

• In a hot pan, fry the salmon skin first by pressing down on the fish with a fish slice or spatula so that all the skin is in contact with the pan.

This is important to avoid curling the fish.

• Once the skin is crispy, turn the fish over to complete cooking.

• Serve the fish skin-side up with the herb butter, and garnish with a wedge of lemon.

garden

Copyright © 2020 JGB Service, http://www.mazegenerator.net/

Edible plants are an easy way to create summer dishes that are bursting with bold colours and fresh tastes. Microgreens, herbs, berries, vegetables, edible flowers and more can be grown on a balcony or patio.

Make the most of your space Most herbs are sun-soakers and thrive on a sunny windowsill or kitchen bench. Mint is best grown on its own while thyme, lavender, and basil prefer company.

Miniature fruit trees grow well in pots and many like to come indoors for warmth.

WANDER MORE...

worry less

Few things in life are as enriching as the thrill of travel or the camaraderie among friends. At Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village in Auckland, a group of intrepid travellers have combined the two.

It all began with a group of neighbours who liked to attend the theatre. This evolved into long lunches and winery tours before spiralling into adventurous group holidays throughout New Zealand and overseas.

The chief organiser and travel maestro for the group is Marie.

She laughs as she recalls how the group formed.

“I’d say to people, 'is there somebody that you think might like to join us?' and it just developed like that.”

At the start of each expedition, Marie puts the word out to see who’s interested in an adventure.

From there, planning begins.

She has a knack for unearthing unique experiences and organising

seamless itineraries. When the group was asked for a key travel tip, the consensus was clear.

“Have someone like Marie!”

They all agree that living in the village has made travel easy. They can take off whenever they like, without having to worry about security or home maintenance.

And those who have lost loved ones or who have loved ones in care have found a community with their travel friends. As group member Maxine explains, “I have the freedom to travel because I know my husband is well looked after and safe in care at the village.”

Together, the group embarks on day trips and multi-day holidays.

Marie has arranged trips to

With plenty of destinations to choose from and Marie at the helm unearthing hidden treasures, this group of travellers have plenty to look forward to.

Appointing a leader who can help with logistics, provide guidance, and act as a point of contact will help the process run smoothly.

Avoid last-minute stress by planning your trip well in advance.

Marie creates detailed itineraries for the trips and organises transport from reception on the day of departure.

Build in time to relax Allow time for rest and relaxation, and plan activities at a comfortable pace for group members. It’s not necessary to see every landmark; it’s more important to enjoy the experience.

“Our trips are very relaxed, and you can take your time and just walk around and not be hurried,” says Maxine.

Figure out what you enjoy most and budget for it Think about where you prefer to spend money and where you don’t mind saving a little. For example, if restaurants are your thing, then you might choose to spend a little less on accommodation in favour of indulging your taste buds.

TALES FROM THE

Trail

Avid walkers Glynn and Eric lace up their walking shoes almost every day. “We have some lovely walks that take you down to the wharf and around the beaches at Cheltenham and Narrow Neck.

This area is so convenient for exploring,” says Eric.

Residents at Ryman’s William Sanders Village, the pair often walk 12km in a day through the character-filled Devonport neighbourhood in Auckland.

Glynn and Eric fulfilled a lifelong dream when they walked the Monsal Trail in the Derbyshire Peak District in England. The 13.5 km trail is an accessible, traffic-free route for walkers, runners, cyclists, and horse riders that stretches from Blackwell Mill in Chee Dale to Coombs Road in Bakewell. The pair favour walks with picturesque scenery and the Monsal Trail did not disappoint, from hills and dales to the iconic Headstone Viaduct.

views. Their daily walks through Devonport feature the sea breeze and bay views with visits to their favourite local cafés, of course.

Another special spot for Glynn and Eric is Mt Maunganui / Mauao, which means ‘caught in the light of the day’. It takes less than an hour to walk to the summit to enjoy breathtaking views of the ocean.

Fortunately, they don't tire of sea

“I thought it was amazing.

Everyone was always happy and doing things,” says Glynn.

18 | R&R

Being able to take off whenever they like is important for Glynn and Eric. And their lock-and-leave lifestyle at William Sanders Village makes it easy. When they first considered retirement living, the lifestyle they saw when visiting William Sanders stood out.

And now they’re living the kind of life she and Eric wanted. Filled with friendships and activity, where they can follow their passion for walking

and travel without worrying about home maintenance or security.

And they aren’t planning to slow down any time soon. They have plenty of walks on their wish list, including one that has been called the finest walk in the world.

"We haven't done any of the big walks like Milford Track yet. And it's something that we've always said we must do,” says Eric.

HERE ARE SOME OF GLYNN AND ERIC’S FAVOURITE WALKS MT MAUNGANUI / MAUAO (30- 45 MINS)

The Mount is a cherished spot for Glynn and Eric.

A brisk walk leads to a picturesque summit where you can find a shady spot under a Pōhutukawa tree to look out over the Pacific. "The view from the top is incredible,” says Eric.

TONGARIRO CROSSING (6-8 HOURS)

Touted as one of New Zealand’s best single-day hikes, Tongariro Crossing traverses a striking volcanic landscape of emerald lakes, lava flows, steam vents, and an active crater. “We did that for my 70th birthday, and that was a highlight, it was fabulous,” says Glynn.

GOLDEN BAY (10 MINS – SE VER AL DAYS)

With abundant sunshine and scenic walks, Golden Bay is a slice of paradise. Warm up at The Grove Scenic Reserve on a magical 10-minute walk through Rātā Forest and limestone formations. Then enjoy a flat hour and a half stroll through lush native bush to a 20-metre waterfall at Wainui Falls Track. For the adventurous, the Kaituna and Rameka tracks present a hearty challenge.
