This week we travelled to Italy together during our Passport to Paradise armchair adventure — exploring the history of Rome, the beauty of Florence and Tuscany, and the colourful charm of Venice. 🇮🇹

An Italian-inspired lunch followed our morning travelogue, bringing the flavours of the day’s journey to life. The celebration continued with an afternoon social where residents gathered to connect, share stories, and enjoy time together — a beautiful reminder that culture, conversation, and community are at the heart of life at Rutherford Heights.
