Some days you just have to pause and appreciate that you’ve got the best job in the world.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with this wonderful lady to record her life story — and as you can see from that smile, it was a chat filled with warmth, adventure, resilience, love, and a lifetime of family memories.

Meeting people and recording their story is exactly why Chats with Pat exists. Every story is unique, every journey is remarkable, and every session is a reminder of how important it is to capture these moments before they’re lost to time.

If you’ve ever thought about recording a loved one’s story — or your own — I’d be honoured to help. 💛

Gift vouchers are also available, and with Christmas just around the corner, it’s the kind of present that becomes a treasured family keepsake forever. Chats with Pat, recording life stories.

Want to know more about your family history? Grandparents talk of a world without electricity, cutting firewood on washing day to heat the copper, blue bags and condy's crystals, riding horses to school and tall tales that make up your families history. Chats with Pat can help you capture these memories for generations to come. Have Chats with Pat help record your loved ones life story.

Connecting the generations through story telling is something we can take for granted. Perhaps many of us have felt the missed opportunity to know more about our grandparents or mums and dads, especially what life they lived before they themselves were parents. Family stories, such as those passed from previous generations, are a link connecting family members throughout time. Leaving a recorded history of your life can be an important gift to yourself and family. At Chats with Pat, our vision is to enhance the lives of individuals, families and community and to provide an insight into the past by the telling and recording of everyday stories

🎙️ This Father’s Day – Give the Gift of His Story

Your dad or grandad grew up in a world so different from today.
👉 When farmers still ploughed with horses.
👉 When milkmen delivered glass bottles at dawn.
👉 When scientists worked without computers, and trades like blacksmiths and wharfies kept towns alive.

They’ve lived through eras of change, held jobs that no longer exist, and played roles that shaped families and communities.

📖 But how much of their story have you heard?
Laughter, lessons, adventures, and challenges — the stories that deserve to be passed down.

With Chats with Pat, we sit down with dads and grandads to record their life story in their own words. A priceless keepsake for the family, capturing memories that future generations can hold onto forever.

💝 This Father’s Day, give more than a gift. Give the story of his life.

👉 Book a chat today and preserve his journey.

🌀 Remember when the washing was fed through the ringer?
Blue rinse bags in the water, steam rising from the copper, and the excitement of the very first washing machine in the house.

Memories like these often open the door to untold stories—of love found and lost, of adventures taken, of the laughter that carried families through tough times.

These are the stories that deserve to be heard, remembered, and passed on. A simple chat can capture them forever, in the persons own words, for the people they love most.

🎙 Chats with Pat – Recording Life Stories

Some people you meet once and never forget.
Dennis? I’ve known him since I was 16 – a true character with a life story that’s as big as his laugh.

From out-loud belly laughs to falling-off-the-chair moments, this recording session had it all. At one point I had to switch the mic off until I stopped laughing!

What an absolute privilege to help capture not just a friend’s life story, but the personality, humour, and spirit that makes him unforgettable.

If you’ve ever thought about preserving your own story – or a loved one’s – now’s the time.
Because life’s too good not to remember.

✨ “Some moments change everything.”
Just over 10 years ago, Zoe sat down with me for the very first Chat with Pat. She didn’t just share her story — she gave me the name, the encouragement, and the belief to start this journey of preserving people’s stories in their own words. I’ll always be grateful to her.

Her son Mark shared:
💬 "Pat’s warmth and charm captured the authentic mum we knew. Now we have her voice and personality preserved forever." ❤️

It’s words like these that motivate me to keep doing what I do — helping families hold onto the voices, love, laughter, life lessons and wisdom of the people they love.

When a loved one is gone, we often say, “I wish I had asked more questions.”
Their stories—the big moments, the small details, the way they laughed telling them—are irreplaceable.

Chats with Pat is a heartfelt way to capture those stories while we still can.
In a relaxed, gentle conversation, we record your loved one sharing the memories that shaped them:
✨ First jobs
✨ Great loves
✨ Childhood mischief
✨ Lessons from tough times
✨ Dreams they had—and the ones they still do

These interviews become priceless keepsakes for generations to come. Chats with Pat, recording life stories.
