Hello Reader, Did anyone else make it to the Flower and Garden Show over the weekend? We had such a blast! From stunning floral displays to creative garden ideas, there was so much to see (and plenty of inspiration to take home). If you missed it—or just want to relive the highlights—check out our video over on Facebook! Speaking of great outings, we recently spent a Sunday afternoon exploring Williamstown with our newest contributor, Dimi, and her grandkids—and what an adventure! If you’re looking after little ones these school holidays, Seaworks is a fantastic option. For even more school holiday inspiration, our wonderful friend Joyce from TOT: HOT OR NOT has been exploring Melbourne with her kids for over ten years. Her website is packed with tried-and-tested outings, making it a brilliant resource for family-friendly ideas. Whether you’re entertaining grandkids or just looking for a new spot to explore, I hope this inspires you to get out and enjoy something fun today—Williamstown or otherwise! Enjoy,
P.S. Love classical music? The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra is offering complimentary tickets to Bach's Orchestral Suites on Sat 5 April, 7pm at the Melbourne Recital Centre. Limited double passes available—let me know by reply email ASAP if you're interested, as they’ll go fast! WHAT'S ON - Mark Your Calendars

But something shifted for me during a recent visit to the NGV Ian Potter Centre at Federation Square. It was my first time joining a guided tour—and it completely changed the way I experienced the art. Our guide, a passionate volunteer, brought each room to life, especially when she introduced a...
Hi Reader, My dad, Chris, recently said that our weekly outings have taken us to some fascinating places—but one of the most memorable was our visit to the Koorie Heritage Trust. It really stayed with us. After wandering through some of Melbourne’s oldest colonial buildings, it was striking to then stand inside a contemporary space that connects to a culture tens of thousands of years older. With National Reconciliation Week approaching (27 May – 3 June), it’s a timely moment to reflect on...
Hello Reader, With Mental Health Awareness Week (12–18 May) upon us, I’ve been reflecting on how important it is to care for our mental wellbeing—especially during life changes like retirement.
