🍊 When life gives you oranges, lemons and grapefruit… make marmalade! 🍋

Our care residents have been busy in the kitchen recently, whipping up a delicious batch of homemade marmalade – with plenty of chopping, stirring and, we suspect, a little taste-testing along the way!

Made with oranges, lemons and grapefruit, the finished result is now safely tucked away in jars, ready to brighten up breakfast toast and add a rather lovely zing to morning tea scones.

There’s something pretty satisfying about making your own preserves… although we’re not entirely sure how long this batch is going to last! 😋

Toast, scones, marmalade… sounds like morning tea is sorted! 🍞☕

Spring Has Sprung at Te Awa

There’s something about springtime
That puts a spring in your stride,
Perhaps it’s all those pops of colour
Greeting you outside.

The gardens at our entrances
Are putting on a show,
With bursts of gorgeous colour
Everywhere you go.

The trees are getting busy too,
New leaves beginning to unfurl,
Fresh green shoots appearing
As spring gives them a whirl.

Of course, our lovely gardeners
May view this with some dread…
They’ve only just recovered
From autumn leaves, we said! 🍂😂

But the mornings now are brighter,
The evenings stretching too,
There’s warmth returning to the air
And skies a little bluer too.

Soon gardens will be flourishing,
And summer won’t seem far away,
But for now we’ll enjoy the promise
That comes with every springtime day.

So here’s to colour, sunshine,
New beginnings everywhere –
And that unmistakable feeling
Of springtime at Te Awa in the air. 🌷🌿☀️

🎭 Stars of Stage, Screen… and a few Te Awa stars too! 🎶

Some of our villagers were off to the latest Operatunity Daytime Concerts and Travel concert recently – Stars of Stage and Screen – and, as always, it was a sell-out!

It was a wonderful musical journey through Broadway and Hollywood, with much-loved songs from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Casablanca, Cats, Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables – along with plenty of those familiar tunes that have a wonderful way of bringing back memories. ❤️

Great music, great company and a morning out – it’s not hard to see why our Operatunity trips are always so popular!

And we suspect there may already be a queue forming for the next two… 👀

🎶 Let’s Twist Again – October
🎄 Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas – late November

If you’d like to join the next outing, make sure you book with our Concierge Team – before someone else nabs your seat! 😉

🐑 The Pied Piper of Te Awa… 🐑

There’s nothing quite like having your own little following!

Our sheep and lambs recently had their first drenching – all part of life on a working farm – and afterwards it seems they decided one of our team was definitely worth following. And follow they did! 😂

One of the lovely things about life at Te Awa is that while our village continues to grow, so does everything around us. Lambs are born, paddocks are grazed, seasons change and the everyday rhythms of farm life carry on.

It’s all part of what makes Te Awa a little different – a retirement community set within a genuine working farm, where life in all its forms continues around us. 💚🐑

Because of You
For all the years of steady hands,
Of showing us the way,
Of quiet words and knowing smiles
That helped us through each day.

For stories told and lessons shared,
For laughter, love and care,
For simply being someone
We always knew was there.

For children grown and families made,
For grandchildren held near,
For memories gathered through the years,
Each one forever dear.

And here at Te Awa, friendships grow,
With neighbours gathered near,
A community that shares the days,
The laughter and the cheer.

For life is richer shared with others,
With friendships old and new,
And Te Awa is a better place
For having each of you.

So today we celebrate you,
Our Dads, Grandads and Poppas too,
And all the lives made richer
Simply because of you.

Happy Father’s Day to all our wonderful Dads, Fathers, Grandads, Grandpas, Pops and Poppas at Te Awa – whatever your family calls you, today we celebrate you. 💙

🎶 A little live music for Dad this Father’s Day! 💙

We’re making Father’s Day at The Woolshed Café extra special, with entertainer Alan Sayers joining us from 12 noon–2pm, playing some of the great tunes from the 50s, 60s and 70s. 🎸🎵

Come along, enjoy a delicious Father’s Day lunch, settle in for some live music and, most importantly, spend a little time with that special Dad, Grandad, Pop or father figure in your life.

Good food, great music and even better company – sounds like a pretty lovely way to spend Father’s Day to us! 💙

See you Sunday at The Woolshed Café.

💙 Wondering where to take Dad this Father’s Day?

Bring him along to The Woolshed Café and let us do the cooking! 😋

We’ve got a special Father’s Day menu lined up, whether Dad’s keen on a morning tea treat or something a little more substantial for lunch.

☕ Morning Tea
🧀 Toasted cheese scone with chilli jam
🥕 Or, for the sweet-toothed Dad – carrot cake with yoghurt or cream

🍽️ Lunch
🐑 Lamb shank on mashed potato with peas & carrots
🥗 Chicken or prawn salad
🐟 Good old-fashioned fish & chips

And all lunch options include a drink. 🥂

So gather up Dad, Grandad, Pop or that special father figure and come and enjoy some good food, good company and a Father’s Day treat at The Woolshed Café.

Because surely the best Father’s Day present is one where Dad doesn’t have to cook… or do the dishes! 😉

Bookings essential. Lunch fully booked.

✨ Our August newsletter is now online! ✨

And what a month it was at Te Awa!

We danced away the winter blues, welcomed Hon Louise Upston for a visit and took a beautiful trip down memory lane with our Wedding Belles Exhibition. 💃💐💍

We also introduce you to Maddison from The Woolshed Café – one of the lovely faces behind your coffee and catch-ups. ☕️

Meanwhile, our Care Centre residents had a very busy month! There were outings to shows, focaccia making (and eating!), a quiz to test the grey matter, a very special visit from Olympic rower Emma Twigg, and plenty of gorgeous daffodil bouquets created to brighten the day. 🌼

There’s lots more tucked inside too, so grab a cuppa, get comfy and catch up on August at Te Awa.

🌼 A morning well spent amongst the daffodils! 🌼

Yesterday Nikki and Tracy swapped their usual morning routine for something a little more colourful today, heading out to a flower farm on St Kilda Road to cut armfuls of beautiful daffodils. 💛

It may have been a slightly overcast morning, but surrounded by rows of bright yellow blooms, who needs sunshine? ☀️🌼

The daffodils will be sold to our residents, with proceeds helping to support the Cancer Society New Zealand – a lovely way to brighten up a room while supporting such an important cause.

Fresh air, cheerful flowers, a few snips of the secateurs… and all for a very good reason. We’d call that a pretty blooming good morning! 💛🌼
