January 7th, 2023Just disgraceful

In our September 26 edition we let you know what the residents of Hepburn
House had been up to. And it’s disGraceful!

THE residents at Hepburn House have been keeping busy over the past
year – creating their second calendar – ready for 2023.
The theme is Ageing DisGracefully and Kyneton photographer David
White has returned to work pro bono again after the success of last year’s calendar
based on movie classics.
David and the residents and staff are having a lot of fun as they dream up ideas
and images for ways of Ageing DisGracefully.
Hepburn House manager Dianne Jones said the calendars would be on sale from
early November with the price $20.
The theme is named after the Ageing DisGracefully group started after successful
lobbying of the state government by Ms Jones and the Ageing With Pride committee.
The group meets every Thursday at 11am at the Amazing Mill Markets café in
Daylesford with everyone welcome. Email ageingdis3461@gmail.com or check out
the Ageing DisGracefully Facebook page.
Above, Hepburn House resident Irene Hannah found herself going home in
the back of a divvy van under the watchful eye of Daylesford Police’s Senior
Constable Jeremy Freckleton – it’s all part of the fun of creating a calendar
with the theme Ageing DisGracefully

(Ed’s note: The calendar is now for sale from Hepburn House and Blooms the Chemist
in Daylesford. Irene, who made our front page, was released with just a warning.
Head to the September 26 edition for more photos. Oh, the residents of Hepburn
House also appeared on The Project with Tommy Little and gained lots of other media attention.)
