FIRST PERSON

“ I am Max Monk ” … a park ranger and team leader for Parks Victoria I’ve always been passionate about preserving the environment. Even as a teenager, I was interested in a career in the industry – whether as an environmental lawyer, scientist, urban planner or park ranger. To help me get there, I studied a bachelor of environmental science, with a major and honours in marine biology. Once I completed university, I landed a summer seasonal ranger position with Parks Victoria. Generally speaking, park rangers have a critical role in protecting 4.1 million hectares of land in the state and around 70 per cent of its coastline. I have worked for Parks Victoria for four years, and I’m now a ranger team leader. My team is responsible for the upkeep and health of the Lower Yarra and Maribyrnong rivers. We work to ensure that the waterways are clear and safe from navigational hazards, which can be anything from shopping trolleys to trees and cars. We work alongside Melbourne Water, the Environmental Protection Authority, local councils and the Water Police to tackle a range of issues that affect our waterways. An important part of our role is to manage the litter traps on the Yarra and the Maribyrnong. The traps need to be emptied weekly, and form a valuable part of preserving the river’s ecosystem and stop litter from entering our ports and oceans. We also manage a number of waterway-related assets, like places for vessels to berth, wharves and landings that provide recreational opportunities. One thing I love about the role is that in the morning we might be towing in some trees to stop them causing damage to vessels, and in the afternoon we could be maintaining sculptures in the Herring Island Environmental Sculpture Park. Or I might be liaising with another organisation to improve and innovate our litter set-up so that we can catch more of Melbourne’s litter. My work also includes maintaining parklands and providing visitors with safe and positive experiences. The biggest challenge for me, but also a big part of why I love my job, is that no two days are the same. Of course, there are times when we’re out at midnight and getting soaked. We all love that, though. If we’re caught out in it, I think it’s a great excuse to be fully immersed in nature. ●

COVER STORY

Media executive Helen McCabe found inspiration in the past when launching the Future Women network.

n October 2018 in a Sydney hotel function room, 300 people gathered to hear former Liberal deputy leader Julie Bishop talk about leadership, feminism and women in the workplace. Watching over proceedings was Helen McCabe, a former editor-inchief of the Australian Women’s Weekly and digital content director at Nine. A few months earlier, McCabe had launched Future Women, a bold subscription platform which offers events, workshops, mentoring, and a news website for women who want to grow professionally. This event was the first high-profile test. As founder and chief executive, McCabe was nervous. What if the event was a flop? What if Bishop – a former federal minister bruised by the leadership spill that had rocked Canberra only a few weeks earlier – declined to discuss sensitive topics and left the audience unsatisfied and disappointed? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and Bishop felt comfortable enough among the Future Women cohort to open up. The result, McCabe says, was a night to remember. And it was the moment she knew Future Women was a viable business. The occasion with Bishop was key for the new media company – it had also proven itself as a clever events organiser. As its website explains, Future Women is “a new home for women to come together online and in person. Our mission is the advancement of women through meaningful events and connections.” McCabe, a former journalist who spent many years covering politics and business for News Corp and The Australian, suspected Bishop’s speech would make headlines. It did. It also confirmed McCabe’s belief there is a hunger in the marketplace for a platform that focuses on women

and the news and issues that affected their lives. Wealth, wellness, leadership and luxury – McCabe says these are the pillars around which she built her business model. The concept, she says, started growing shoots in 2016 then gained momentum after the Women’s Marches in the US and the increasing urgency of #metoo. McCabe found inspiration in the past. “I wanted to do something that was very much a rethinking of the same principles and ideals the Packer family had when they first launched the Women’s Weekly as a weekly print magazine 80 years ago,” she says. “If you were starting again with that kind of brand in this current environment, what would it look like? Future Women is it.” Giving women an opportunity to meet one another was also vital to Future Women’s growth. There are too few opportunities these days, McCabe says, for women to network, make friends, and share experiences. “In a previous decade you would have had the tuckshop, the tennis club, mothers’ groups, political parties, church groups, card clubs, the cup-of-tea-over-the-back-fence cliche – those were the ways women met. There are plenty of examples – in literature, too – that female friendships are the ones that pull you through life.” After boarding school in Adelaide then a journalism degree, McCabe moved into TV news, before working as a London correspondent, and then various executive roles at The Australian and The Sunday Telegraph. In 2009, she was offered and accepted what many would consider the best magazine job in Australia: editor-in-chief of the country’s most-read magazine. Fast forward to her current role at Nine and the challenge of building a Future Women constituency which is loyal. Old media paradigms are no

“There are plenty of examples ... that female friendships are the ones that pull you through life.” longer relevant. For example, when I ask McCabe what is FW’s core demographic, she says she prefers not to talk about age “as I don’t find it particularly useful. Our motto is ‘attitude not age’.” McCabe’s goal is to host events where 25-year-olds and 55-year-olds are comfortably sharing information and networks. They have a lot to gain, she says, “by being a part of the same club”.

“It’s not a new thing, but I see younger women really inspired by Julie Bishop, Michelle Obama, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Helen Mirren or Michelle Simmons. And at our Future Women Social Clubs, I see it all the time.’’ ● ● futurewomen.com Read the full interview with Helen on domain.com.au/domain-review

How ‘a little sub-city on the fringe’ is our top suburb for cafe culture.

elburnians are enamoured, besotted, and obsessed with coffee. And because cafes are the place to get that bitter-yet-sweet black nectar, we’re obsessed with those too. Cafe culture makes a place more liveable, according to the latest Domain Liveable Melbourne study by Deloitte Access Economics and Tract Consultants. It’s one of those things that adds to the amenity, goes hand in hand with an area’s walkability and helps develop the community. The study measured the distance to cafes from the centre of any given suburb and number of cafe jobs available in Melbourne’s 307 suburbs as a way of seeing which had the most lively cafe scene. The tiny inner-city enclave of Cremorne, wedged between Richmond and South Yarra, took the top spot. “For me, it’s the coolest part of Melbourne,” says Wani Sak, the owner of 1983 Espresso and Panini Bar on Cremorne Street. She and her fiancee Melinda Aloisio opened the cafe in 2012, and then six years later took over the space two doors down for the restaurant and bar Ms Frankie. Cremorne beat out Melbourne CBD, Southbank and South Melbourne as the prime spot for cafes, with those suburbs ranking second, third and fourth, respectively. While the study did not measure the quality of cafes in any given suburb, one of its authors, Adam Terrill from Tract Consultants, says looking at the number of them gave a good understanding of where cafe culture was at its highest. “The provision of cafes in any given suburb provides a local amenity for residents that can be enjoyed – and the quality of cafes across Melbourne is generally pretty good no matter where you go,” Mr Terrill says. The once-industrial locale of Cremorne has gone through a resurgence over the past five or so years. Even back then, most people didn’t know where it

D E N I S T H E M E N AC E CA F E

There’s a latte to love was, Ms Sak says. “Cremorne was pretty dingy back in the day, there’s stories of drug lords and all sorts of dark, crazy stuff,” she says. “Now it’s changed so much – it’s typical, off-the-beaten-track kind of Melbourne with really cool little pokey laneways.” Creative, fashion, tech and media companies have taken over the once-empty industrial buildings, earning the area the nicknames “Silicon Yarra” and “Silicon Richmond”. Reece plumbing plans to move its headquarters to the old Rosella factory, while new residential development The Malt District, which will also house the new MYOB headquarters, is being built under the Nylex sign. Ms Sak has seen it all evolve, much to her surprise and delight. “It felt like it was going to be something pretty cool,” she says. “But there’s no way I imagined it would become what it has become.” With businesses of course come people, and with people – you guessed it – cafes. It’s a $2.2 billion industry in Victoria, and coffee alone is about 10 per cent of our discretionary spend, University of Melbourne marketing professor Simon Bell says. “It goes to the heart of what our identity is,” Professor Bell says. “There are some aspects of our coffee culture that’s really ahead of the world – Melbourne International Coffee Expo, which attracts the

S Q UA R E O N E C O F F E E

world’s best in specialty coffee; the sheer number of micro roasters that we have in Melbourne, for example.” It’s even started to influence how the rest of the world does coffee and brunch. “Aussie cafe culture is finding a foothold in the US – the flat white, the smashed avocado – those are the sort of things that have become associated with an Australian-style cafe.” For Ms Sak, the growth of Cremorne as a cafe hub has led to a burgeoning nightlife scene as well. “It’s becoming more of an understood location,” she says. “It’s a little sub-city on the fringe.” ● ● domain.com.au/liveable-melbourne/

Ghosts of things past Hit Hollywood movie director Paul Feig reveals his vulnerability. R AC H E L L E U N R E I C H

GETTY IMAGES

Wo r d s

hen you meet Last Christmas director and producer Paul Feig, he’s most likely to be wearing a three-piece suit complete with dapper tie, boutonniere and silk pocket square. Perhaps it’s also the armour he needs: as the creator of cult TV show Freaks and Geeks says: “I was a kid who was bullied for most of my childhood and made fun of.” Although he is now a Hollywood powerhouse, his past still affects the movies he makes today. “The last thing I want to do is make fun of somebody [for] who they are and what they can’t change about themselves ... I’m not drawn to [male characters] who are so tough and so cool because I can’t relate to those guys,” he says. “Everything I do is about when a character gets hurt, mostly emotionally, because that’s what humanises all of us. We’re all sensitive, we all feel like failures, we all feel like frauds – it’s just life.” Even though Henry Golding’s character Tom in Last Christmas seems suave and self-assured, he also displays a certain goofiness. When he meets Kate (Emilia Clarke), an aspiring singer who works as an elf at a Christmas tchotchke store, he’s able to show her a side of the world she hadn’t previously noticed. Through him, she starts to understand that the

problem with her life isn’t so much her neurotic mother, her bossy sister, her monotonous job or her lack of successful auditions but the way she perceives everything around her, and herself. If the movie pulls at heartstrings, it’s not only because of actress Emma Thompson’s script (she was writer and star), but because of Feig himself. Says Golding: “Paul wears his heart on his sleeve, and that’s somewhat to his detriment [because] he’s so honest and pure with everybody that I think people take him for granted.”

seen,” says Feig. “When I met her four years ago, I saw she was funny. It’s almost like launching a new actor. A friend of mine watched the entire movie and said, ‘That woman is so great – who is she?’ I said, ‘That’s Khaleesi!’ She could not get over it.” Although Last Christmas packs several punches – not least because it features George Michael’s music in it so movingly, including a previously unreleased track – it’s the movie’s message of “Look up” that makes Feig say: “We’re just disconnecting with the things around us.

“That’s why my movies are more emotional, even though they try to be funny. You have to be a raw nerve.” On hearing this, Feig responds: “That’s why my movies are more emotional, even though they try to be funny. You have to be a raw nerve.” His CV isn’t too shabby: he’s directed Bridesmaids, A Simple Favour, Spy, The Heat and the Ghostbusters reboot. But what about when your outsider was last seen on-screen as the powerful Mother of Dragons in Game of Thrones? In Last Christmas, Clarke is the opposite: messy, vulnerable, unsure. “It’s a side that nobody’s really

“When you look up and look at the world and around you, and you’re dealing with people and seeing what they’re going through, you just go, 'Yeah, we’re all in this together.’ “We’re all humans, we’re all flawed, we’re all having a hard time – that’s what makes us so wonderful. Let’s embrace it and let’s all help each other out.” ● LAST CHRISTMAS \ In cinemas now

hen Australia’s favourite music quiz show Spicks and Specks took the needle off the record back in 2011, nobody had expected it to survive the six years that it did on ABC television. The show hosted by Adam Hills had proved itself past the difficult second album career phase and gave Aussie musicians a chance to shine beyond radio playlists. “We got out while the going was good,” says ABC radio presenter Myf Warhurst, who made a name for herself as the darling of Triple J radio, and is an occasional guest panellist on The Project and co-hosts SBS’s Eurovision coverage. Warhurst and her fellow team captain Alan Brough entertained with their biting music and pop culture knowledge – and their love of niche musical facts too.

A rotating line-up of local and international celebrity guests added to the charm of the format. Everyone from Meat Loaf to Tim Minchin, the late Sharon Jones, of Dap Kings fame, Guy Pearce and Tina Arena all shared the spotlight. A Spicks and Specks reunion special which aired last year broke ABC viewing records, with 1.13 million tuning in. It proves local content is in demand. “Coming together for the reunion was like nothing had ever changed,” Warhurst says. “It’s like we had slipped back into a cosy old armchair and the magic was still there between us all. There was always the worry of mucking up the legacy if we came back, but that didn’t happen.” Warhurst, who studied a bachelor of arts, fine art and art curatorial studies at the University of

“It was a bit of a shock, it took off so quickly ... you never really know how long things will last.” Melbourne, dabbled in print journalism and edited street mag InPress before moving into radio. “I never really had a career plan,” Warhurst says. “I just went with the opportunities as they presented themselves, and I still do.” She recalls her mother telling her to record the first episode of Spicks and Specks onto VHS tape for a keepsake should she need proof. “I don’t think anybody really had any idea how long the show would actually go for,” Warhurst says. A love of Dolly Parton, a weak spot for anything leopard print and devotion to her cat Steve has allowed her fans to feel a part of her world.

What you see is what you get, too – a heart-on-sleeve personality who is as approachable as she is lovable. And when she’s not launching books for friends (most recently Clare Bowditch’s autobiography), she is recording her podcast Bang On! with friend Zane Rowe talking music news and pop culture. Warhurst, 46, was born in Portland, Victoria, and moved to Red Cliffs, near Mildura, when she was eight. She grew up with three older brothers and their mighty vinyl collection. Warhust learnt the piano as a child, her brother Kit was in the Melbourne rock band Rocket Science, and her hankering for pop

In media, you never really know how long things will last. I feel super blessed I got to work with some amazing people.” Spicks and Specks will return for one show this month during Aus Music Month, and another three episodes will screen in February. “I remember being a kid searching for my music identity and having a thirst for knowledge but there wasn’t much around, you had to find it. “I wanted to be part of that somehow and I eventually found it. Fast forward all these years and I never take my place in media for granted and am grateful for all the opportunities.” ● SPICKS AND SPECKS SPECIAL \ November 24, 7.40pm on ABC TV

GREG BRIGGS

y love affair with tote bags started in earnest at a booksellers’ conference in Brisbane. It was 2010 and the publishing companies were handing them out like lollies. Some of the totes carried reading copies of forthcoming novels. Others exploded with handouts and brochures when you tipped them upside down on the hotel bed that night. One publishing rep heard me compliment her colleague on their company’s very nice totes. “Here, have a couple,” she said, stuffing a few more into my hands. It turned out the publisher had printed too many tote bags. Thus, booksellers like myself became worthy recipients of a few freebies. To tote or not to tote: that is the question all ecominded retailers are asking. Do we go to the expense of having totes manufactured with our own logo? Or, do we just order in generic calico ones? And, if we do offer totes, do we ask people to pay? If yes, how much? Should we try and cover our costs, or do we just give them away and allocate the expense to the marketing budget? In recent weeks, I have also been wondering:

what’s the current view on paper bags? The other day, a customer was miffed when I offered a paper bag with a handle for her three new books. “No more bags,” she said rather contemptuously, then shoved her beautiful new books into a hessian bag beside the greengrocer’s veggies. I winced, then wondered if I was being disrespectful to the environment by seeking to protect William Dalrymple from the customer’s waxy potatoes. Right-wing grumps like Paul Murray and Andrew Bolt might blame Greta Thunberg and her lot for the new complexities surrounding shopping. But I love Greta, and think of her every time I sling my tote bag on my shoulder. With determination and intelligence, this woman-child from Sweden has captured our hearts and prompted us to review how we live our lives. From household rubbish to our meat consumption, airline travel – even paper bags with the bookshop logo on them – Greta is another climate change activist who has prodded us into thinking how we might change our daily behaviour. For me, it starts with shopping. We all shop. Most of us do it every day.

“I love Greta [Thunberg], and think of her every time I sling my tote bag on my shoulder.” What we buy, how we transport it to and from stores, and how we use these products (and what we do with the stuff once we have finished with it) are habits we can change right now. For example: ■ Invest in a shopping trolley bag on wheels. You can fit so much inside, and prices start around $40. ■ If you live near a shopping strip, walk to your shops. On so many levels (improved fitness, eliminating car park angst, supporting local traders, cutting petrol consumption), this is a winning move. ■ Buy local products. The fewer kilometres your item has to travel to the supermarket, the less its impact on the environment. ■ Need a new fridge or bedside lamp, desk or set of cutlery? Think op shop. ■ Some eco experts say we should shop less often to reduce our carbon footprint. My view: if you can walk or bike ride to your local shops, then try to

shop daily. There is less tendency to overbuy and chuck out, and you become more focused and better organised with meal planning. ■ Avoid plastic. Not just shopping bags, but goods packed in molded plastic cartons and packages. ■ Tote up. After all these years, my collection of tote bags is in full use. A couple in my daily backpack, a few in the car, one at my workplace. ■ Pick up a copy of We Are All Greta: Be Inspired to Save the World by Valentina Giannella ($19.99). As the author writes in her introduction, “a fearless girl has awakened the conscience of an entire generation and made it concrete and visible’’. Shoppers of Australia, it’s time to join them. ● Corrie Perkin is an award-winning journalist and former managing editor of The Age, and the owner of My Bookshop in Hawksburn.

hen Brian Donnelly started tagging trains in the ’90s from Jersey City to Manhattan’s Lower East Side, he never thought his act of teen rebellion would lead to a worldwide audience, let alone see one of his art pieces (The Kaws Album) fetch almost $22 million at auction this year. But that’s exactly what happened to the 45-year-old artist who swapped chunky lettering for taking down phone booth and bus shelter

advertisements to place skull and crossbones motifs and “XX” for eyes as his curious stamp. He chose the name KAWS because he liked the way the letters looked together and the father of two, who lives in Brooklyn, brought his wife (Julia Chiang, also an artist) and their two kids Sunny and Lee to Melbourne for the unveiling of his NGV mid-career retrospective KAWS: Companionship in the Age of Loneliness.

But in 2019 and in the hands of Donnelly, a giant toy that looks like Mickey Mouse is holding Sesame Street’s Elmo in that Mary and Jesus embrace. “I wanted to make a sculpture dealing with loss, to tie back to the theme of the exhibition.” Donnelly has designed and collaborated with everyone from Original Fake (his own label), Nike, Comme des Garcons and Dior. He has collaborated with Japanese retailer Uniqlo on four occasions. Look out for the exhibition catalogue, which goes on sale in December, featuring an essay on loneliness by Margaret Atwood. ●

Donnelly doesn’t pretend to know any answers, he merely plugs his art into a conversation about pop culture’s place in our own world; how TV has become king and why those deathly “XX” for eyes get us to ask deep philosophical questions. “I’m pretty meticulous about cataloguing my work, and doing a show on this scale meant I had to dig deeper to bring new content to it,” he says. “There’s pieces in this exhibition taken from the early ’90s I have never shown before.” The NGV exhibition features his murals, large-scale paintings,

TRAVEL \ McL AREN VALE Starting with medicinal wine, an innovative South Australian vineyard is now a tipple-lovers’ paradise.

The best medicine

n 1886, Englishman Dr William Angove, who'd newly arrived with his family to South Australia from Cornwall, set up practice at Tea Tree Gully, a short trip from Adelaide. He was a progressive doctor; having delved into the restorative powers of tonics, he began growing vines on his property and making wine for his patients. Not only did they enjoy the wine, but it proved to be a more lucrative living than being a doctor. And so the Angove winemaking story began. His medical practice plaque still sits at the entrance of the Angove winery, located in McLaren Vale.

Under his leadership, the vineyard would grow to 40 hectares. In fact, Dr William would head a family of innovators: his son, Carl “Skipper” Angove went to Renmark and established the Riverland's first winery and distillery and was also one half of the team behind Dominion Wines in England. For two decades, Angove & Son would be among the top Australian wineries exporting to England. The third-generation curse (if you believe the saying that the first generation makes it, the second maintains it and the third blows it) did not hold true here: Tom Angove

From 2020, every grape grown at Angove Winery will be certified organic.

graduated dux of oenology from Roseworth and won prizes for his project on modified distillation. He would go on to push new technologies for the winery, and came up with one achievement that's still impressive: he invented the world's first wine cask.

And Tom's son, John, made a decision that would prove to be vital to the future of the business when he took over as managing director: he began the switch to organic wines and from 2020, every grape grown in an Angove family-owned vineyard will be certified organic.

These days, it's Tom’s kids at the helm: Victoria and Richard as joint managing directors, and their sister Sophie working as the vineyard manager at McLaren Vale. Visitors to the Angove Winery immediately see that there's something unique happening. For starters, you might catch a flock of Indian Runner ducks waddling down the row, an ingenious way to keep snails at bay and help fertilise the vines. It's not the only way that a natural solution is devised to confront an age-old problem. In the family's Warboys vineyard, bat nesting boxes have been installed

to encourage the bats to breed. They operate as effective insect eaters and, if the experiment proves successful, the Angoves are hoping to inspire other vineyards to reduce their use of pesticides. And behind the scenes, other sustainability practices are the norm: special mowers are used to keep the weeds under control, drip irrigation is utilised and solar power has been invested in. But the real innovation is in the attitude that the family holds. “We're passionately family-owned and have been for 133 years, but we don't see ourselves as owners,” Richard says. “We're more custodians, and our job is to keep nurturing the business and hopefully our children might take it over.” ● ● angove.com.au

ocated in the heart of Kuala Lumpur right under the Petronas Twin towers is a beautiful dining space called Open House featuring the work of my friends Andrew and Brian. With interior design and architectural backgrounds, Andrew and Brian have created a stunning space, fusing a flare of local Malay and modern interiors with plush cushions and exquisite fabric to create a luxurious yet familiar ambience. The cuisine was also carefully thought through. Each dish has a story highlighting traditional and royal household recipes, many of which have been passed down through generations and respectfully modernised. The keria churros served at the restaurant is a modern version of the kuih keria sold on the streets. Often I think “if you can't make it better than the original, don't do it”, but not when it comes to this dessert as it is simply outstanding. It’s genius! ●

HEALTH & WELLBEING

f, like many Melburnians, you get hay fever during spring, you are at risk of suddenly developing asthma during a thunderstorm. November is peak season for thunderstorm asthma in Melbourne. Doctors Ron Sultana and Michael Sutherland at the Epworth Hospital in Richmond say if you suffer from spring hay fever you are at risk during thunderstorms, even if you have never reported asthma symptoms before. Spring thunderstorms can burst pollen grains into minute pieces that can be breathed deep into our lungs and trigger asthma. When Melbourne experienced the world’s worst recorded epidemic of thunderstorm asthma on November 21, 2016, thousands of people suddenly found they were struggling for breath and 10 people died. Epworth Richmond director of emergency

medicine Dr Sultana was one of the many doctors urgently called in to treat crowds presenting at hospital emergency departments across Melbourne. He says the 2016 epidemic was particularly bad because it occurred when people were leaving work and exposed to the pollen. “Half of the people in the 2016 epidemic could not recall having asthma before and others were caught out and didn’t have an asthma reliever with them. People arrived very perplexed at why they were suddenly so short of breath and wheezing and coughing.” Respiratory physician Dr Sutherland says it is important during a thunderstorm to stay inside and avoid exposure. People at risk should use an asthma preventer if they have one and carry an asthma puffer to relieve chest tightness, shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing.

“If you suffer from hay fever in spring, particularly from rye grass, make sure you are using your medication throughout spring and see your GP for an asthma check and an emergency plan,” Dr Sutherland says. Call 000 in an emergency. ● LIZ McLACHLAN

HAWTHORN \ 2 HAWTHORN GROVE 4

Mirrabooka, an Indigenous word for the Southern Cross, is the perfect name for a house built by a constellation of masters. It’s a star – not just of Hawthorn Grove but of beauty and brilliant craftsmanship in general. The blokes who, back in 1899, made Mirrabooka’s turquoise leadlight windows, carved the curvy mantelpieces and jigsawed delicate flowers for the unique set of timberinlay arches deserve to have heavenly bodies named in their honour. Brownie points, too, to the builders who extended Mirrabooka in recent times. The single-level Victorian has an elegant family zone opening to the garden, pool and spa, bringing a smart-casual touch to the grandeur. With formal living and dining rooms, four double bedrooms, marble bathrooms and a vine-shrouded rear garage and man cave, the scene is set in immaculate style; a busy family can move in and enjoy the atmosphere without so much as flicking a brush. A lawn fringed in roses makes for a lovely northerly outlook from Mirrabooka’s return verandah. The leadlight entry leads to a Baltic pine hall and the first of the ornate timber arches. Bedroom one, at the front, has a bay-window seat, bookcases and a fireplace, and would suit a library. Two further bedrooms have wardrobes and share the spa bathroom and powder room. Heritage hunters will admire the carpeted living room, sparkling in leadlight below a dark timber ceiling; the fireplace has a mirror mantelpiece. The open plan is a masterpiece of modern good looks.
