What I'm Listening to Right Now 🎧


Hello Reader,

Chris here. I’ve recently come across a podcast that’s really resonating with me – Suddenly Senior. It’s a thought-provoking listen created especially for those navigating aging or even just contemplating what lies ahead. Each episode dives into important topics like health, creativity, and social issues, often with insights from influential guests like Lex Marinos and Perry.

What I love most is how it encourages us to embrace this stage of life with confidence and purpose. It’s inspiring, refreshing, and full of practical wisdom. If you’re looking for something new to listen to that speaks to the journey we’re all on, I highly recommend it.

Let me know if you give it a listen – I’d love to hear what you think!

Warm regards,
Chris

“
What a gorgeous old building. I am not usually up this end of the city, so it was very interesting to feel a sense of awe at the age of the actual building. But also that this has been a place where artists and art lovers can come together to exhibit, learn and celebrate art and have been doing so for a long time.
​
This is a place for anyone, including children. Our granddaughter was delighted to find a beautiful stained glass door that led to a small balcony which then gave us wonderful views of St Patrick’s Cathedral."

Ocean Photographer of the Year

Hello Reader, Terrie here. Have you ever done something completely “on the spur of the moment”? Well, that’s exactly what my husband and I did last week, and it turned into an unforgettable adventure. It all started with a simple walk along Ocean Grove Beach to cool off after a hot day. The weather was perfect—22°C, blue skies, a soft breeze, and the calming sound of waves crashing on the shore. Way ahead, we spotted the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse and thought, “Why not walk all the way there?”...
