with sol3 mio
Victoria Tait speaks with Pene and Amitai Pati and Moses
Mackay from Sol3 Mio about their music, career highlights
and what to expect at their upcoming performance in
Waipara this month.
Sol3 Mio has been described as a group bridging the
gap between classical and contemporary music. The two
tenor brothers, Pene and Amitai Pati, and cousin Moses
Mackay, have become world famous for their fresh and
unique perspective on opera, which has, in turn, made
the music more accessible to the masses. The singers
have exploded onto the world’s music scene with their
unbelievable talent and onstage presence that brings
the audience back time and time again. At Christmas In
The Vines, on December 17, Sol3 Mio will be joined on
stage by Stan Walker and Hayley Westenra and will be
accompanied by the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra,
at Waipara Hills Winery.

How do you describe your music?
our music is definitely an eclectic mix of classical and contemporary
music. of course, our primary discipline is opera/classical, so we try
to mix old-school favourites in a way that respects both genres. our
music is filled with our own personalities – you can hear the humour,
you can hear the drama, you can hear the ‘sol3 mio-ness’ if you
will... that’s what i think makes our music, ours. our music is nostalgic
sentiment in a song, but also emotionally driven and powerfully
stirring. – Pene
Opera tends to be quite serious, yet Sol3 Mio is known for taking
a more relaxed approach. Do you think this has made opera more
accessible to a wider audience?
Absolutely. this is the key to appealing to a ‘newer’ audience. People
believe in a stereotype about opera being stand-offish, upper-class
and for the chosen few, and that’s what stops them from having a
taste. But classical music is in everyday life, through tV, movies and
jingles – people just don’t know that. By taking opera and making
people realise this, we instantly have access to this wider audience.
opera has been going through the ages. why? Because it’s a movie
in song format. we lose this appeal in today’s music. A relaxed
approach on opera reassures the audience that this music can be for
everyone. we invite everyone to our world and make them realise
that this has been a part of their life too, they just didn’t know it.
– Pene
What has been your career highlight?
A career highlight has to be becoming an Adler Fellow with san
Francisco opera – very privileged to be a part of such a prestigious
programme and an amazing company. with sol3 mio, performing
at Vector Arena, as it was always a goal that we wanted to achieve.
it’s a blessing to be able to achieve what you set out to do, and it’s
definitely a milestone that we will never forget. – Amitai
What is your favourite Christmas carol, and why?
my favourite carol will have to be Shepherd’s Pipe Carol. i sang this as
a chorister with the Graduate Choir NZ, and it’s always been a carol
i’ve enjoyed performing and listening to. listening to it also brings
back some good memories of me and my brother trying to learn
to read music and sing in time for the first time. Carol singing had a
huge impact on our development as musicians. – Amitai
Who is the biggest comedian of the group?
i don’t classify myself as a comedian at all, and if i do crack a joke
it’ll usually be for my own amusement, in which i will laugh over and
over again! You’ll have to have the Pati boys fight for that title.
– Moses
Who inspires you?
i always say that if you don’t want to do something because you’re
nervous, scared, unconfident... then do it for someone who can’t.
– Moses
“Our music is filled with our own
personalities – you can hear the humour,
you can hear the drama, you can hear the
‘Sol3 Mio-ness’ if you will...” – Pene Pati

Dancing Queen
The world-renowned St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre is performing Swan Lake
in Christchurch late December. Christine de Felice speaks to principal dancer Irina Kolesnikova,
about her life as a professional ballerina.

Style | report 17
The St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre (SPBT) was founded
by Russian entrepreneur Konstantin Tachkin in 1994 and
is recognised as one of the world’s leading classical ballet
companies.
The company specialises in performing the masterpieces
of classical ballet loved by audiences across the globe. Giselle
by Adolphe Adam; Don Quixote, La Bayadère and Paquita by
Ludwig Minkus; Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, The St. Petersburg
Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty by Peter Tchaikovsky; and Les
Sylphides (Chopiniana) and Romeo and Juliet by Sergei Prokofiev –
all these and more are included in their extensive repertoire.
Since the company was founded it has toured extensively,
visiting numerous cities across Europe, the United States,
South Africa, Asia and Australia. These hard-working dancers
present some 200-250 performances every year, and SPBT is
the only classical ballet company in the world that is completely
independent of government financial aid or sponsor funding.
The company performs in many of the world’s most famous
theatres, such as the London Coliseum and Royal Albert Hall,
the Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris, the Bunkamura Hall in
Tokyo, the National Theatre in Taipei, and the National Theatre
in Beijing.
The 60 professional dancers in the company are all graduates
of either the world-famous Vaganova Russian Ballet Academy or
other significant ballet schools, while well-known former dancers
are their ballet masters and mistresses.
The jewel in the company’s crown is Irina Kolesnikova – her
name alone means sold-out performances throughout the
world, with ballet lovers and demanding dance critics alike
enthralled by her talent.
“I danced for five years before reaching principal status,

18 Style | report
To become a prima ballerina requires many years of tuition and
practice. What age were you when you started ballet, and where
did you start learning?
I entered ballet school at the Vaganova Institute when I was eight
years old and graduated at 18, so 10 years of study – and not just
ballet, we also had regular schoolwork to do: maths, history, etc. To
become a leading dancer takes even longer. I danced for five years
before reaching principal status, dancing every day, practising every
day.
Was the St Petersburg Ballet Theatre the first company you
joined?
Yes, I joined SPBT [in 1998] as I liked the idea of a company that
specialised in full-length classical works.
Have you been a member of any other ballet companies, or been
a guest dancer at any other companies?
I have danced in gala programmes in St. Petersburg, Moscow and
London, but mainly I stay with my own company.
What would a typical day be like for you?
A typical day is: Sleep in for as long as I can. Then a class at the
ballet studio for an hour and a half. Rehearsals to follow, then my
big meal of the day – fish, salad, soup. I also nibble on nuts and
seeds for energy. I don’t eat meat, don’t have desserts and I don’t
drink.
of a pair of pointe shoes. I use several pairs during a performance.
Sometimes I prefer a pair that has been worn in; they can be softer
on the toes! Sometimes I use a brand-new pair as they can give me
a special feeling. Over the tour of six weeks, I’ll go through maybe
30 pairs.
You tour extensively with the St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre. Do
you enjoy visiting and performing in different countries?
Oh yes, it’s wonderful to dance to new audiences. Every country
has a new way of reacting. Sometimes you hear no applause but
can feel the emotion across the footlights. Other times it’s wild
cheering and lots of curtain calls.
Is this your first visit to New Zealand?
No, I was here as a soloist about 15 years ago.
Do you get the chance to go sightseeing in other countries, and if
so what are some of your favourite places?
I love London – who wouldn’t? We were there last year and
had a wonderful season at the Coliseum Theatre. I danced
nine performances in 12 days, so there was not much time for
sightseeing. But I do love the history of the city, and Harrods! While
in New Zealand, I hope I can visit the countryside on my days off –
breathe the fresh air and enjoy the famous fresh food.
Is there anything you have to sacrifice for your ballet career?
See the previous answer!
What is your favourite ballet and role, and why?
Swan Lake has to be it. It’s a challenging dual role: Odette – the soft,
vulnerable Swan Queen, and then Odile – the cunning, flamboyant
seductress. Two very different roles. They are both physically and
emotionally demanding.
Do you get nervous before a performance and if so, what do you
do to calm your nerves?
Yes, but in a good, positive way. Maybe I’d say more excited than
nervous. I’m confident in my physical abilities; it’s the emotional side
that brings the challenge as I stand in the wings waiting for my first
entrance.
It’s understood ballet shoes get worn out very quickly, so how
many pairs do you go through in a month and how many pairs do
you take on tour?
It depends on the floor surface. A good stage lino prolongs the life

A promise of
connection
this 2016 Architectural Design Award-winning home was an
exercise in redemption through creative cooperation.
words DAvinA RichARDs

Style | home 21
Collaboration was key to designing an architectural home that replaced
an existing house lost to the 2010/2011 earthquakes. Cymon Allfrey
and don roy of Cymon Allfrey Architecture in Christchurch were the
two creative minds behind the ‘Bradnor road’ home in fendalton, and
were awarded the 2016 National residential New Home over 300sqm
Architectural design Award and the residential interiors Architectural
design Award.
designed to accommodate a couple nearing retirement and pay
homage to the owners’ love of mid-century modern architecture, the
home needed to “expand functionally when grandchildren came over
or they wanted to entertain,” Cymon says. There also needed to be a
promise of connection between the house and its natural surroundings,
and, just as importantly, a personal and emotional connection between
the owner and house through the incorporation of loved qualities from
the existing home. A sense of familiarity depicted through architectural
language meant that the home has rooms “organised in a similar way”,
and the grand living room orientates to the river.

An initial challenge posed by this project was that it was an
insurance-related build. Cymon says,“There were the usual
challenges of creating good architecture in an environment where a
home was lost. This created obstacles in terms of size, location, scale
and budget.” He adds that they wanted to make sure the house is as
“visually honest as possible” and do so in a cost-effective way.
The contemporary home sits on a tree-lined cul-de-sac adjacent
to the Wairarapa Stream and its defining feature is the extensive
structural timber skin distinguished from the road as one drives
up to the house. “Timber became a narrative that was used
throughout the design and construction – it has no structural steel...
Architecturally, it’s about presenting itself to the road in a simple way
that was recognised to be a home,” Cymon says. Volume has been
created with high-level windows, and the sloping roof addresses the
sun and river.
mapped out on one level, the simple interior is split into three
main sections and follows a practical L-shaped floor plan aligned
to connect the primary living spaces to the northerly river view
and existing garden to the east. The kitchen and the bathroom
(which was a joint effort between Cymon Allfrey Architects and
Christchurch designer davinia sutton) wrap along the eastern
edge of the house and address a courtyard accommodating two
bedrooms and en suite. The study, second bathroom, master suite
and garage face the road along the south boundary.

The project was a “considered design process where creativity was
deliberate” and exercised the architects’ creativity and skill, as well
as the ability to work together, shared through a process of respect,
encouragement and support. Built by Homes by maxim, Cymon
describes the design as a “restorative process” and the design and
build teams were engaged in the project and overcame obstacles
together – the resulting views as you navigate through the house are a
particular victory.
Judges called the design an elegant project. “set between river and
road, the building and landscape intentions are held in a sensitive
balance.”
The ‘Bradnor road’ home was one of two projects for which
Cymon Allfrey Architects received an award. The other winning
project, ‘Gleneagles Terrace’ by Craig south, is the creative and
graceful design of two family homes and won the 2016 National
residential multi-Unit dwelling Architectural design Award.

Love
Your
Lawn
Landscape architect Craig Wilson
looks at the options
and benefits of artificial lawns.
Landscaping projects can generally
be broken down into two distinct
components: the ‘hardscape’ and the
‘softscape’. A key element of the ‘softscape’
in Canterbury residential gardens is the
humble lawn. Our childhood memories of
backyard cricket, making daisy chains and
backyard summer picnics were all made
possible by the green slab of lawn that Dad
mowed every Saturday afternoon.
For the landscape designer, a lawn is
a valuable tool in creating a restful open
space with strong contrast to the texture,
layering and form of garden beds and
the hard precise lines of built landscape
elements. In summer, an expanse of a lawn
is a welcome cooling element in sharp
contrast with the reflection and glare of
hard surfaces.
The ideal lawn has been often viewed
as a weed-free ‘monocultural’ wonder
and is often the pride of its watchful
owner. However, the effort to create this
impression is not for the faint-hearted and
requires a strict year-round schedule of
irrigation, fertilisation, spraying, de-thatching
and mowing.
If you want the look but don’t want the
work, a viable alternative to a traditional
‘browntop and fescue’ lawn is one of the
many artificial turf products available. The
term ‘artificial’ never sounds good and is
enough to put many off. However, it is
increasingly becoming the lawn of choice –
even here in ‘lawn proud’ Canterbury.
The benefits of artificial turf are obvious,
but worth the time to mention. Firstly,
you don’t need to mow it much… and
secondly, it looks as good all year as the
day it went down. For the homeowner
who travels and wants to come home to
pristine lush green without the thought
of mowing ankle-length lawn, it can be a
no-brainer. It can also be a great solution
to that problematic shady area where
you’ve tried and tried unsuccessfully to
get a lawn to establish and ended up with
mud time and time again. Perhaps most
importantly, as our water supply and
consumption continues to gain deservedly
heightened awareness, artificial turf requires
no irrigation and will be a lovely, soft green
even in the harshest drought.
Artificial turf will never be everyone’s
cup of tea, and it’s hard to beat the feeling
of a healthy dense green swathe of grass
between your toes on a summer’s day.
But be aware of ‘lawn envy’ this summer –
your neighbours’ lawn may not be all you
imagined it to be.

EXTERNAL AFFAIRS
with Tim Goom
GARDENING TRENDS
Quality landscape architecture weathers the nature of evolving
fashions and tastes- however it is interesting to examine trends
which emerge from year to year. Some of the trends seen in
landscaping this year internationally:
• Sustainable garden landscaping practices -
clever recycling of grey and rain water
• The use of native and drought resistant plants
• Low maintenance landscaping
• Plant walls and roof tops gardens
• Firepits and fireplaces
• Edible gardens
• Movable gardens
We have observed many of these trends in our projects locally, we have
also seen additional trends emerging, specific to our locality.
Colour
2016 has seen a revived interest in the use of colour through the use of
flowers (bulbs and perennials) and contrasting coloured leafy plantings.
The impact of changing colour adds variety and a sense of your garden
being a living, ever changing entity.
Hedging
Some gardeners approach hedges warily, due to the perception of hedging
requiring time consuming maintenance and being ‘traditional’. However,
the maintenance required is determined by the variety of hedging chosen.
A variety such as teucrium will require trimming almost as soon as you
have hung up your hedge clippers, but slow growing varieties such as buxus
will only require a couple of trims a year. Hedging need not be boring-you
can have flowering, scented, soft or spiky hedges and is a great way to add
structure. Using trees for shelter (from both the sun and our pesky
prevailing Easterly) will provide a protected cosy environment.
Evergreen Perenials
Plugging gaps in your beds with evergreen perennials will provide a show
for most of the year, keeping your garden visually interesting. New forms
of Salvia, such as ‘love & wishes’, flowers for up to 9 months of the year!
Ground covers
Ground covers such as pachysandra and aceana are an attractive and
functional way of covering up unsightly dirt which would otherwise host
weeds, whilst creating an interesting texture. Once established, ground
cover plantings are easily maintained.
Space shortage
There is a move towards smaller sections and larger dwellings in urban
areas, reducing the available space for outdoor living. These space limitations
are encouraging gardeners to look to new ways to efficiently maximise the
outdoor space they have. Gardening upwards (through the use of garden
walls) and movable planted pots are some options. Cleverly combining
varieties of plants along borders (rather than using the same variety) will
create the illusion of more space whilst generating a lush outlook.
Multiple purpose gardens
We are seeing a trend towards gardens which are more than ornamental.
Picking gardens are back in vogue. To maintain these year-round requires
careful plant selection- a mixture of seasonal varieties (bulbs for spring and
perennials for summer) to ensure that picked will soon be replaced. We
New Zealanders have always had a love of our edible gardens- we have
noted an increased demand for citrus trees such as kumquat and limequat
which are hardier in our sometimes punishing climate. Vegetables and herbs
are being incorporated in to the traditional bed alongside non edible plants.
Planting bee and bug attractors is crucial to developing a biodiverse garden
which supports itself.
Water wise
We are seeing gardeners becoming focused on rising temperatures and
water preservation in their planting selections. Mulching provides a simple
and effective way of retaining moisture and limiting weed growth. Some
are opting out of lawns in favour of artificial turf or no mow plant options,
reducing maintenance and limiting onerous irrigation required to keep a
lawn green through summer.

CHRISTMAS IDEAS
WORDS DAvInA RICHARDS
Whether you intend to have your Christmas feast and festivities by the
beach, at your holiday home or in the back garden, here are a few ideas
to pull off a memorable experience as warmer weather invites us into
the outdoors.
CREATIvE ACCEnTS
Large outdoor spaces mean you can create an elaborate Christmas
setting or a warm and cosy backyard. A decorative chandelier
wreath hung from a tree branch over the dining table works well
as a centrepiece, and smaller branches can be decorated with
hanging flowers, baubles, paper lanterns or voile curtains for a soft
and luxurious look. For something different, style a vintage fireplace
surround and place it thoughtfully against an exterior wall; add a large
flower display on top coupled with towering candle holders and
various Christmas ornaments and decorations, such as pine cones and
antlers to finish it off. Display balloons and float a herd of candles in
the pool to create ambience and reflection.

30 STYLE | home
Go BoHEMIAn
Christmas teepees are a creative alternative to gazebos and
marquees. Think Christmas-themed cushions and throws, string
lights, sheepskin rugs and a display of Christmas gifts. To complete
the look, hang Christmas stockings on either side of the teepee
entrance, illuminated Christmas words, a teepee-topper and a
Christmas tree. Teepees will make your back garden feel like a
world away, as well as creating a unique dinner ensemble and quirky
backdrop for fun Christmas photos.
CoSy nook
A wooden bench or corner seat can be turned into an inviting and
mesmerising nook on your patio, porch, balcony or entranceway.
Hang a Christmas wreath from the porch ceiling and throw in some
festive cushions, pillows and throws, lighting, Christmas decorations
and a table for food and drink, and you have yourself one cosy
corner to relax in and enjoy.
STARRy nIGHT
Enhance your natural surroundings using garland lights, lanterns and
candles. Wrap string lights around tree trunks and branches or hang
loosely under the tree so that it drapes slightly for an enchanting
feel. A room divider with vertical string lighting creates a magical
backdrop behind sofas and chairs, while a string light tent creates
impact. Illuminated letters which spell out words, such as 'Joy' or
'Ho ho ho' can be used to decorate walls or hang between poles or
from a tree branch.

CInEMATIC ExpERIEnCE
Organise your very own ticketed event – play all of your favourite
Christmas films outside by installing an outdoor cinema, or if you’re
feeling nostalgic, use a projector and blank wall or large blackout
fabric. Decorate your designated cinema space with soft furnishings,
tables, lighting, Christmas ornaments and food and drink.
EClECTIC fEEl
For a low-key, lounge-look Christmas dinner party, opt for low tables
with mismatched blankets, rugs and oversized floor cushions. This
creates a fun and casual dinner setting which can be recreated in any
environment.
TABlESCApE
Bring the Christmas dining experience together with little details at
the table: include personalised décor such as blackboard signs with
Christmas messages and pine cones as name card holders. Fill the air
with a Christmas-scented candle, hang mistletoe, use twine to wrap
cinnamon sticks and greenery to napkins, add a couple of miniature
Christmas trees and deluxe Christmas crackers, and all that’s left to
do is enjoy.

LYNETTE MCFADDEN
BUSINESS OWNER, HARCOURTS GOLD
AND WELL KNOWN BUSINESSWOMAN
Recently I took the opportunity
to go through an open home of a
neighbouring property; in fact, from
that property you can look directly
into ours.
The home in question was stunning, both
spacious and beautifully presented. The
consultants hosting the open home were
absolute professionals and although the words
‘nosy’ and ‘neighbour’ never came up, in less
polished hands, they may have.
And that’s the little bee in my bonnet, so to
speak. Real estate consultants and owners will
often categorise neighbours viewing their homes
as ‘sticky-beaks’, or worse, and it’s something I
frequently challenge. Yes, for some folk it will
absolutely be an exercise they go through for
purposes other than making a purchase, but for
others – and I’ve been in this camp many times
– it can mean a potential sale. It makes sense
that neighbours buy next-door properties; they
buy for themselves, for family members and on
behalf of friends keen to get into a specific area
or school zone. They believe in the location and
its merits, and can at times pay a premium for the
privilege. So, all is not lost if you see lists of locals
on your open home attendance sheets. Accept it
as just another part of the selling process. Breathe
deeply and move on.
Here’s another ‘B’ or two:
BE Persistent and BE Sensible. In a transitional
market, and that’s what I believe our current
market is, as demonstrated by the incredible
number of properties that are currently available
(others refer to it as stock, a word I hate), versus a
selective number of purchasers, many of whom
won’t be rushed. Choice brings its own set of
challenges, especially for owners.
It’s time to be sensible with price expectations
if you sit outside the market’s ‘sweet spot’,
which can adjust almost weekly, or if your
suburb is over-supplied, and there are several
pockets where this is the case. So whilst I’m
advocating an optimistic yet realistic stance
for owners, my message to sales consultants
is one of persistence. Showing persistence is
such a gutsy stance and all of us like to feel
that the person working for us has done
absolutely everything they possibly can to
bring about the desired result.
These actions should include a written
marketing plan across multiple media, a
structured open day schedule, data base
contact, auction or private treaty, and then
successful negotiation.
The list is extensive and the work ethic
needed is strong. And let’s not forget that
professional approach when dealing with
neighbours; after all, you never know, they
just might purchase.
Enjoy November, Christmas
is calling!

THe DOTS
in Cashel
Mall
Richard Dalman looks at the progress
of this favoured shopping strip.
PHOTOGrAPHY Charlie JaCkson
In November, the first retail stores –
Mecca Maxima, Superette, Glassons
and Hallensteins – opened in the ANZ
Centre. Cashel Street was abuzz with
people waiting for the doors to open and
opening-day specials to be enjoyed. This
once quiet side of Colombo Street now
gives city-goers reasons to venture further
down Cashel Mall.
The ANZ Centre is located in a critical
and unique part of the CBD. It fronts four
key streets – Cashel, High, Colombo,
and Hereford – and is positioned on
one of the two diagonals that interrupt
the Christchurch grid street pattern. This
interruption creates the potential for
interesting buildings and spaces. The ANZ
Centre achieves this with its curvaceous
glass façade and the soon-to-open glass
atrium on the High Street side. Hopefully,
it will also relate positively to the triangular
space immediately to the north.
Cashel Mall is a destination shopping
strip, in which Ballantynes has held the
fort since the earthquakes. Ballantynes
is the anchor I believe Christchurch
should be grateful decided to stay. Our
city owes much to the business’ ongoing
determination and loyalty. The innovative
Re:STArT Mall has been another very
successful mainstay that continues to delight
tourists and locals alike.
With the CBD spaces starting to fill
there is a “joining of the dots” occurring.
Ballantynes and the ANZ Centre will soon
be joined by BNZ, The Terraces and The
Crossing developments. The stage is set
for increased retail activity in between, and
soon there will be more buildings than
gaps in this area. A feeling of integration,
wholeness and style is achieved as more
building developments progress. Not only is
retail starting to return to the CBD, but so,
too, are the commercial tenancies bringing
more people to the centre every day. It
is good to see the place pumping with
people.
Our architecture practice was in the
inner city prior to the earthquakes, and
one of the things I have missed was the
opportunity to bump into friends and
colleagues on the street. A lot of business is
done through such informal meetings, and
much of that has been lost.
With the CBD starting to function again,
the heart of the city promises to be a
vibrant, inspiring destination.
A feeling of integration,
wholeness and style is
achieved as more building
developments progress.

Yalong Bay, where the MGM Grand is
located, has been rated among the top 25
beaches of 2016 (Trip Advisor Travellers’
Choice Awards).
THE SECrET SANdS
of Sanya
Kate Preece explores the Chinese island on which sun, sand, surf and
steamboats are the orders of the day.
PHoToS Kate PreeCe
A three-course meal, a few movies, a glass
or two of red, and a small travel group
touched down in Guangzhou, China, 12
hours after leaving Christchurch. The flight
was care of China Southern Airlines, the
service was enjoyable, and the seat lay flat –
if you were lucky enough to find yourself in
business class.
We weren't staying in China’s third largest
city, however, bound instead for the whitesand
beaches of Sanya, on Hainan Island, a
quick 90-minute flight away.
For the in-flight snack, leave your
European preferences at home. Expect a
Chinese hamburger (sticky rice of white and
purple wrapped around some form of meat)
and a juice box of sweet herbal tea. If you
can’t deal with this deviation in cuisine, best
turn back now.
Flying into Hainan Island, the references
to the ‘Hawaii of China’ are believable.
Mountainous green-covered hills give way
to deep valleys, with ribbon-like river that
glisten from above. The popular city of Sanya
unfurls before us. It is a destination for a
luxurious retreat, and we were to stay at
what was China’s first resort.
We arrived at the MGM Grand –
previously Gloria Resort – and were greeted
with lei-like flowers and a glass of the best
coconut milk I have ever tasted. We were
quick to immerse ourselves in resort life:
swimming, sunbathing and ordering from the
bar in bikinis. (Note: the Chinese are not
as accustomed to the Kiwi holidaymakers’
penchant for a 5pm drink, and might need
guidance to make cocktails and G&Ts.)
After tourism, agriculture is the second
biggest industry on Hainan Island and
produce year-round fruit for the mainland.
Crops include pineapple, bananas and mango
(in two varieties, one of which is from seed
imported from Australia), which flourish in
the average temperature of 25°C. The bird’s
eye view from the plane highlighted this
clearly with lines of cultivated fields creating
patterns on the hills.
Today’s food in Sanya is worthy of a
long lunch. Juice can come straight from a
gigantic green coconut, extracted from corn
(served hot) or squeezed fresh from a cactus
(bright purple). Meat is served whole – fish
in particular, but it is not uncommon for a
chicken’s head to sit on a plate either. The
dumplings couldn’t be better, and neither
could the fried rice, and this is a country in
which you will line up to eat your oh-so--
flavoursome greens. Spice fiends will also
be satisfied, with the hot stuff part of the
everyday menu (watch out for the yellow
chilli sauce!).
To experience something off the beaten
track, seek out a fishing village. We arrived at
one not long before sunset and joined a raft
of boats making their way inland after a day’s
fishing – and more so heading back out, fully
equipped with rows of squid lights hanging
high above the cabins. Workers who don’t
own their own restaurant take their hauls
directly to the fish markets, but the rest are
waiting for patrons to choose their fish du
jour. For us, it was swallow fish, a beautifully
soft white fish that melted in the mouth after
being boiled in stock on a burner atop our
table. This form of ‘steamboat’ or ‘hot pot’ is
classic Chinese fare, and the go-to option if
you are to experience any Chinese barbecue.
With four days in Sanya, we experienced
little more than a taste for this tropical oasis.
A short trip through one of the shopping
areas brought us head-to-head with the
locals, yet for those wishing for a resort-style
retreat, choose from 43 international brands
and there’s no doubt you will find solace.

Eating fresh fruit from the markets is a must,
particularly the mangos and coconut.
Fishing villages show a different
side of life in Sanya.

travel tiPS
1. drink like a Chinese pilot and opt for a half-and-half mix of
orange and tomato juice, with a splash of hot sauce. Not
only is it supposed to be good for the skin, but it adds an
extra boost of vitamin C, ahead of any regular old juice.
3. To prevent jetlag, resist the urge to put your sunglasses on
until 48 hours after a long-haul flight. Don’t stop natural
light reaching your retinas – it will mess with your head.
4. Watch for surcharges. VAT might be 10%, but then there’s
the 6% extra for the pool boy to deliver your drink.
5. Tea is king in China. Therefore, there will be some areas
(such as Sanya) in which you will struggle to find a decent
coffee – your best bet will be McDonald’s. If in doubt, hold
off on the milk, too. It’s often UHT.
6. don’t take your power banks in your carry-on. You are
likely to lose these ‘unsuitable items’ at the security check
in Guangzhou.
7. dreamliner is more than just a catchy name. The
China Southern Airlines flight, direct from Christchurch to
Guangzhou, uses this type of plane (also known as a Boeing
787) and its fancy air-filtration system makes the in-flight
conditions friendlier on your skin.

Optimal Optima
Korea’s Kia Optima battles away in the shrinking
sedan market, as motoring expert Ross Kiddie writes.
Elegance, style and performance don’t
always go hand-in-hand in motor vehicle
manufacture.
But Korea’s Kia Corporation has
certainly done that with the new midto-large
sedan, the Optima. Well, when
i say new, the Optima is mostly all new,
it has a new chassis and it is bigger than
before, but it looks little different, it still
has the same sleek body style, and the
latest iteration builds on those values i’ve
just mentioned.
The Optima reeks of flair and fashion,
it sits low and it has a body style that
oozes desire, that element is also carried
over to the interior, the entire car has
had a refresh with a renewed emphasis
on quality trim and materials.
there is little difference in price
either, in fact it could well be cheaper
than the outgoing model depending on
specification.
Limited specification comes in at
$48,990; for that money the Optima
comes well specced, major features
include satellite navigation, radar cruise
control, full leather trim with heated
front seats with electric seat adjustment,
heated steering wheel and paddle shift
gearbox.
it’s fair to say, though, the evaluation
car was top spec, an EX variant sits
$3200 below that and it would probably
be my choice given it doesn’t miss out
on much and it has cloth trim, which is
my preference.
all that aside, both variants get a
2.4-litre petrol engine. it’s not a new
unit, but i wouldn’t be at all surprised if
it has had a bit of a makeover in terms
of refinement, such is the quiet and
sophisticated way the Optima drives –
the engine is a major part of the hushed
way in which the car travels. and as
i eluded to in my introduction, the
Optima isn’t short on performance.

the specs
price: Kia Optima Ltd, $48,990
DimensiOns: Length, 4855mm;
width, 1860mm; height, 1465mm
cOnfiguratiOn: Four-cylinder,
front-wheel-drive, 2359cc, 138kW, 241Nm,
six-speed automatic.
perfOrmance: 0-100km/h, 8.8sec
fuel usage: 8.3l/100km
Rated at 138kW and 241Nm, the
twin-camshaft, 16-valve unit has plenty
of urge. it drives through the low and
close ratios of a six-speed automatic
gearbox, together the driveline
promotes swift acceleration and easy
momentum when it reaches the
driver’s desired speed.
it’s hard to detect how hard the
engine is working, for a big block fourcylinder
it is uncannily subdued, and
even under acceleration sound is well
isolated from the cabin.
Unfortunately, my testing time was
cut a little short, an engine maintenance
warning light flicked up on the dash
during the time the test car was in my
care, so i was very circumspect as to
how i drove the car, and how far.
that aside, the engine has a lot of
usable torque through the mid range,
which means it is happy slugging it
out in the areas where fuel use is
minimised.
Kia claims an 8.3-litre per 100km
(34mpg) combined cycle average for
the Optima and that figure is quite
realistic, during my time with the
test car the fuel usage readout was
constantly listing around 9l/100km
(31mpg) along with a 6l/100km
(47mpg) figure available
instantaneously at 100km/h (engine
speed 1700rpm).
the Optima cruises beautifully, it has
a plush ride and sound is deadened. Kia
has utilised a fully independent, front
stunt/rear multiple link set-up. i like
these arrangements, the rear wheels
have freedom, and springs and shocks
are allowed to do their job unimpeded.
mid-corner bumps are dealt to without
deviation off-line, while at the other
end steerage is direct and turn-in is
accurate.
Riding on high-quality michelin pilot
rubber (235/45 x 18in), the sport
specification tyres have strong grip
properties along with little sound. they
are also partly responsible for the
strong steering feel, the driver is fully
involved with the handling process.
Creating a new car and building
on the success of its predecessor is a
complicated and difficult process, but
Kia has always done that well, and the
Optima is a good example of how
sophisticated the modern sedan has
come to be.
it’s just a pity the sedan market in
languishing in an age where a buyer’s
first choice is generally a sport utility
vehicle. Good cars like the Optima
deserve to do better.
Couldn’t you just
take it home.

THE ART OF A GARDEN
Can gardening be defined as art? Anne Hudson explores this concept and
takes us on a tour of Flaxmere, Penny Zino’s garden in North Canterbury.
Penny Zino had a vision. She wanted
to create something of beauty that
complimented the surrounding landscape,
blending in with the form of the North
Canterbury hills, river and terraces.
There is no doubt Flaxmere is a work of
art, but this artist had to truly understand
how it would form over time. How will
the plants grow? What will they look like in
different seasons, and in their juvenile and
mature states? What will the weather do to
them? Is there enough water or shelter for
them to grow? The painter can dab his or her
colour onto the canvas and there it is, they
do not have to wait and see how it might
develop over time. The garden artist must
see into the future and take risks with the
elements. This is art in the environment.
Flaxmere is a mature garden with a
Japanese bridge crossing over ponds
covered in lily pads. One wonders, was she
inspired by Monet’s paintings? In another
part of the garden, a swampy area has been
planted with New Zealand beech trees
and other native plants, reminiscent of a
mountain walk. The variety of beech trees is
testament to Penny’s botanical knowledge.
Each visit provides some new design. A
playful swirl of tussock grass draws the eye
down from a formal lawn into the native area,
and pathways gently lead you to new vistas.
Floral beds and neat edges give way to paths
and loose planting.
A rose garden and pool offer a formal
layout, and from here the eye pans to a
theatrical view of the mountains framed by
poplars and a lovely wooden gate, beyond
which a mown path leads into the field
and almost to infinity. It is these vistas that
have earned Penny her artist status and her
work recognition as a Garden of National
Significance by the New Zealand Gardens
Trust.
A recent visit to the Netherlands to study
with the renowned landscape architect Piet
Oudolf has been the inspiration for a new
area of mixed grasses and annuals. They grow
to a height of about 1m, offering an expanse
of varied colour and texture. Penny continues
to try out new ideas and new plants in this
North Canterbury environment.
Penny has designed and constructed much
of this garden herself. Its structure and layout,
the perfectly created vistas and wandering
water features, plus the stonework and
planting, point to the work of an artist – but
can we describe the garden as a work of art?
A garden is a strong metaphor of change
and flux. Each time one enters the garden
it is different, dictated by those elements
that affect all life forms. This garden is no
exception, and provides a constant reminder
to us that life has a cycle; that renewal and
death are part of all life cycles. We learn to
understand our place in the natural world
by taking a walk in this beautiful landscape.
The sublime, the romantic, the benign and
the poisonous all co-exist within this work of
art – one which works conceptually as well
as formally.
Flaxmere is open by appointment to
the public and is available for garden tours,
weddings and events. Each year, at the end of
October, Art in a Garden is held at Flaxmere,
showcasing not only the beautiful garden but
also sculpture, painting, ceramics, glass, and
jewellery, providing us with an opportunity to
immerse ourselves in aesthetic pleasure.

Men’s designeR
bag edit
For Spring 2017, Louis Vuitton has
taken men’s bags on a storybook safari.
For most large brands, men’s bags
are something of an afterthought. If a
satchel or tote design works well in
the women’s line, it gets simplified,
enlarged and made more neutral in
order to appeal to men. Louis Vuitton
puts more thought and detail into its
men’s bags than most other premier
designer brands combined, and it really
showed on the Spring 2017 runway in
Paris earlier this year. The bags had a
safari feel to them and the collection’s
main colour story was blue, which made
the whole thing feel like a highly stylised
storybook adventure.
ResoRt ColleCtion
With summer just around the corner, Bird
& Knoll resort collection offers a beautiful
capsule of cover-ups: kaftans, maxis and
ponchos. With a range of chic and simple
resort wear, this collection is full of welcomed
cover-ups for the summer season. We’re
loving this Positano Poncho.

to Cleavage
It’s the end of an era for the cleavage
according to Vogue (December issue).
The trend of enhancing one’s assets has
been around for centuries, however,
fashion is taking a step back from bust
boosting. Vogue contributor Kathleen
Baird-Murray says, “The cleavage – those
magnificent mounds pushed together to
display sexual empowerment, to seduce,
to inspire lust or even just to show off –
is over, or at least, taking a well-earned
break.” She adds, “The t*** will not be
out for the lads. Or for anyone else, for
that matter.”

Sun
and Skin
Lock out those damaging UV rays and maintain
your skin’s health with these essential tips on
sun and skin.
WORdS CLemenCy ALiCe
Sun exposure is one of the biggest threats to ageing well. it
stimulates melanin production, causing increased pigmentation
and sun spots. Sun triggers an increase of free radicals in the body,
which cause skin collagen fibres to degenerate and premature
ageing. new Zealand has one of the highest rates of skin cancer
in the world, which is why it is so vital to have corrective sun
protection as part of your daily skin health routine.

WhiCh type of Spf ShoULd yoU USe?
Physical sunscreens contain active mineral ingredients, such as
zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. a ‘physical’ broad-spectrum SPF
is vital in blocking and reflecting those harmful UV rays and is
essential if you have irritated, sensitive, reactive skin or a tendency
to breakouts. Try Synergie Broad-spectrum uberzinc with its key
ingredients of zinc oxide, antioxidant green tea extract, hydrolysed
tomato skin and Vitamin E.
Style | beauty 59
WhAt Spf iS beSt?
an SPF15 provides only 93 per cent protection, whereas an SPF30
provides 97% and an SPF50 provides 98%. in your summer beauty
regime, opt for a minimum of SPF30. never fully rely on your
SPF15 tinted moisturiser for full sun protection, instead select an
SPF with a minimum of 30.
Suncare truth: if you have an SPF15 tinted moisturiser and layer
this with an SPF30, the level of protection remains at SPF30, it
does not become an SPF45.
AppLiCAtion AdViCe
apply a generous amount of your sun protection cream at least
30 minutes before stepping outside, and make sure to reapply
every few hours to ensure adequate sun protection. Remember to
also apply along jawline, ears, neck and décolletage.
Suncare truth: Remember to protect your skin from the sun even
on those grey, overcast days. UVA rays (responsible for ageing)
are still able to reach your skin.
ACCeSSoriSe
Invest in a pair of UV protective sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat
that matches your style and a light cashmere shawl.

How To
STreSS LeSS
Elly McGuinness gives us some tip on
keeping stress in check over the ‘silly season’.
The lead-up to Christmas can be a very busy time
for many – social get-togethers are on offer for every
club, hobby, workplace, and circle of friends that we
are involved in. At the same time, most people are
still working full-time hours during this pre-Christmas
period, shopping for gifts for loved ones, and planning
upcoming holidays away.
Many people will perceive the added jobs they need
to do as quite stressful and overwhelming, and this can
have repercussions for the health of the body. The
implications of high levels of stress can be wide-reaching
from headaches to skin conditions, increased blood
pressure, problems sleeping, fatigue and a decreased
ability to burn fat, to name a few.
Top Tips To keep
STreSS in cHeck
1. MiniMise alcohol consuMption
It’s a social time of the year when alcohol consumption increases for many.
Be aware that alcohol creates more stress inside the body by making internal
organs and systems work harder and can result in a restless sleep. If you choose
to drink alcohol, be very mindful of how much and how often, and ensure you
drink sufficient extra water to keep your body hydrated. The Ministry of Health
recommends no more than two standard drinks a day for women and no more
than three for men as well as at least two alcohol-free days every week. Bear in
mind these are upper limits, and not guidelines for optimal health.

2. Breathe into your Belly
Stressed people will generally breathe in and out of
the top part of the chest, which can add to the stress
response of the body. ‘Belly breathing’ is an effective
way to decrease the stress hormones circulating in
the body. It will also stimulate the lymphatic system,
which assists in toxin and fluid removal from the body.
To practice belly breathing, sit comfortably, place one
hand on your belly and the other on your chest, and
close your eyes. As you take a long, slow breath in,
you should first feel the hand on your belly rise as your
tummy fills with air. Towards the end of the in-breath,
you will feel the hand on our chest rise as air fills this
space. Then slowly release the breath and feel both
hands lower back in. Start with 5-10 belly breaths every
day, and gradually it should become the natural way
for you to breathe. Anytime you feel your stress levels
rising, take a few deep belly breaths. The tension in your
body and your stress hormone levels should start to
lower immediately.
3. say “no”
Consider the things that are critical to maintaining
optimal health, such as exercise, eating plenty of whole
foods, good-quality sleep and spending time with loved
ones. If the number of activities and tasks on your ‘todo’
list is negatively impacting on these areas, decide
what you can say ‘no’ to and offer time to yourself, to
care for your wellbeing instead.

Charmed at Chalmers
Davina Richards experiences the feel-good factor of this local working men’s club.
PHOTOGRAPHY Charlie JaCkson
It was the first time I had ever stepped
inside the Hornby Working Men’s Club &
MSA and I had never really known what
goes on behind those doors. It turns out
that there’s plenty to get involved in, and
the volume of members says it all.
The Hornby Working Men’s Club is
located at the The Hub Hornby and has
been established for more than 60 years,
boasting more than 7000 members. At
its inception in 1956 it was a men’s-only
club, but the decision was made to allow
women to become members in 1982.
My fiancé and I met the club treasurer,
Brian Purcell, who was kind enough to
show us around the building, which proved
to be very accommodating with a wide
range of excellent facilities, including a
club café, club bar with a stage for live
music and dance floor, sports hall, modern
gaming room, well-equipped gymnasium,
TAB, meeting room, Chalmers restaurant
and three function rooms to host
weddings, birthdays and conferences.
Shortly after our tour, we were
introduced to Brian’s wife Raelene and
enjoyed a drink before entering Chalmers
Restaurant – which was filling up quickly.
The menu was simple and consisted of
hearty traditional fare, such as catch of the
day, 250g rib-eye steak and a carvery with
your choice of favourites, like pork, beef,
lamb or chicken.
Greeted with a friendly smile and a
professional demeanour by the staff, I
ordered the seafood cocktail followed by
a main meal of marinated pork spare ribs
coated in tangy barbecue sauce served with
salad and fries – a favourite dish at the club,
so I’m told. On its arrival I was pleasantly
surprised with the portion. The pork was
succulent and came off the bone easily and
a lashing of barbecue sauce was perfect.
My fiancé tucked into the blue cod served
with chips and salad and was content with
his perfect flaky fish and its crispy outer
coating.
Despite being too full to indulge in a
dessert, I didn’t hesitate to have a couple
of spoonfuls of my fiancé’s carrot cake
with frosting and vanilla ice cream, which
was almost life-changing. Suffice to say, I
immediately regretted not having one.
If you have never stepped foot inside
the WMC it’s worth popping in to take
advantage of its many offerings. There is
a distinct sense of community, friendship
and fun that fills the entire venue, and for
a small membership fee you, too, can be a
part of this feel-good club.

flAIR for flavour
a city favourite, Trevinos continues to
satisfy with its recipe for success.
WORDS Davina richarDs PHOTOGRAPHY charlie Jackson
Trevinos Restaurant and Bar is a popular
contemporary venue nestled in Riccarton
and but a hop, skip and a jump from
Hagley Park. On the scene since 2000, it
offers a choice of al-fresco dining in a cosy
courtyard complete with gas fire, or indoor
casual dining in the large bar area.
When we entered the venue the crowd
had created a lively atmosphere, and going
by the clinking sound of plates from the
kitchen, the staff were busy, but there was
no indication of stress – just smiles and
good service. The friendly waitress placed
my fiancé and I in one of the seating
booths and we ordered a pint of Steinlager
and a glass of Mac’s cranberry, ginger and
cinnamon as we perused the extensive
menu. It offers everything from entrées
and starters through to pizza, pasta, meat
and seafood dishes, and an excellent wine
list covering a mixture of Kiwi and Aussie
beverages.
As a restaurant renowned for
specialising in Mediterranean food, it
seemed appropriate for at least one of
us to order a seafood meal. A glance to
the specials board took the interest of
my fiancé who immediately confirmed his
choice for the 100g West Coast whitebait
with garden salad and pommes frites. I
opted for the garlic and paprika spicerubbed
pork cutlet with apple and red
cabbage slaw and kumara chips.
Tucking in, we were delighted. A
generous portion of whitebait scored
points, while the perfectly cooked pork
chops had just the right amount of spice
and balanced nicely with the sweet
kumara. As we dined, I noticed the
attentive staff served drinks and food as
quickly as they removed empty plates and
glasses.
We couldn’t leave without ordering the
dessert special: New York baked vanilla
cheesecake with ice cream and crème
brûlée with pistachio biscotti and vanilla
ice cream – a taste sensation and a great
choice for those who want to indulge in a
bit of naughtiness.
Trevinos has been around long enough
to know exactly what customers want
and, with its combination of delicious food,
professional service and ability to cater to
different groups, whether it’s for a casual
coffee, catch up with work colleagues or
family gatherings, it’s no wonder people
flock here.

As the sun set over New Brighton on Guy Fawkes
night, a chilly sea breeze nipped at faces and fingers.
Treetech, though, had the perfect solution to the
weather. The company, which was celebrating two
decades of tree care, threw a waterfront party along
with a massive display of aerial fireworks. Within the
cosy marquee commanding the beach, guests enjoyed
fancy fare until the countdown began. On cue, the
first of many projectiles lit the sky with a thunderous
report and shower of fiery jewels choreographed to
the music of David Bowie, to whom the event paid
tribute. Just stunning!

The late afternoon sun beat down mercilessly on Christchurch, sending
waves of light to pervade the city and dance off the windows of the
House of Travel standing proudly in St Asaph Street. The celebration
within progressed convivially, guests mingling in the impending twilight
as well as their host’s generosity. On every floor small groups were
given conducted tours and chatted with staff, distracted frequently
by the trays of delights handed around. As well as those of the edible
and drinkable varieties, there were other temptations from which to
choose, namely those of faraway destinations, to which House of
Travel will happily send you. Bon voyage!

There could not be a better way to enhance summer than by
bringing the best to Christchurch and that is just what Harcourts
Gold did in staging a fundraising fashion show with Dame Trelise
Cooper. Holding the party spellbound, Dame Trelise spoke of her
work in relation to Women’s Refuge, the charity benefiting from
the evening. The event then stepped up into high gear as the
first model appeared, leading the parade in a winding progress
through the gathering, each garment receiving great applause.
Guests enjoyed sparkling fashion and a dazzling event.

soutHern excellence
awards 2016
Surrounded by the wonder machines of yesteryear, the latest
achievements in the property industry were recognised and celebrated.
Companies and individuals who have displayed exceptional
performance and dedication, were in the limelight when the Property
Council New Zealand held the Southern Excellence Awards 2016 at
the Air Force Museum. Tables sparkled in the candlelight as dinner
progressed and, in between courses, guests were able to relax at the
various pampering stations arranged about the hall. Following the
handing out of awards and the possibility of drowning in the provided
luxuries, it was time to dance the night away. Such fun!

Talent abounded in the city recently when students at Hagley School of Fashion staged a
parade of their creations. Couture spanning a wide treasure trove of styles from formal, casual
and sophisticated to the fantastic strode past in a visual buffet, stunning the senses. The
enraptured audience of families, friends and guests responded with deafening applause,
after which it was time to give congratulations to and heap praise upon the budding designers
during the after-party. A rich future in fashion looks assured for Christchurch.

RiccaRton Races
The gentle rain fell from the leaden sky and hung like
a necklace of liquid jewels from the leafy boughs,
beneath which picnics were laid out. The soggy
lawn of Riccarton Park was no deterrent to the
company of dedicated race-goers who, despite the
inclement conditions, were determined to enjoy the
day. Fashions of every style and degree of coverage,
wafted by in a casual parade of elegance and
frequent shivery gooseflesh. The background tumult
of voices, which included whoops of victory and
slurred commiseration resulting from the fickleness
of betting, blended with the drumming of hooves on
turf to play out the symphony of race day.

tRotting cup Day
at aDDington
A human tidal wave flowed through the gates at Addington and the
air of excitement climbed skyward. Hands secured hats on heads
and held hemlines in place against the strengthening breeze as out
on the track horses and drivers made ready. Eyes were challenged
as itinerant fashion plates vied with the gallant chargers for
attention. Sulkies hurtled past drawn by the magnificent snorting
power generators strapped on. By the day’s end, some would be
celebrating whilst others would tear up unproductive betting tickets,
victims of fickle fortune. Sunburnt, windblown, poorer in pocket but
richer in enjoyment, the tide turned and ebbed homeward.

a criminal defence advocate for more than 32 years, shaun has
had extensive experience in a wide range of serious cases, ranging
from murder to money laundering, firearms and drug trafficking.
December 2004, he became the first black person to win the
BBC television quiz show, Mastermind and since then he regularly
appears on the television screen as “the dark destroyer” on the
smash hit ITV teatime quiz show, The Chase.
When asked to come to New Zealand shaun said, “I had to
pinch myself as I always wanted to visit NZ and not had the time
or opportunity.”

Christmas Day

Presents: when to open them and how to pretend
you like them.
WOrDs ViCToRiA TAiT
if you are one of those families that opens presents before
breakfast on Christmas Day, all we have to say is... shame on
you. By traditional standards, it’s considered rather uncouth.
sorry, we didn’t make the rules, it just is. it is acceptable to tear
your stockings open as early as you like, even before sunrise,
but you must wait until the time between the morning church
service and lunch before you open any presents under the tree.
this is early enough to pacify your overly excited screeching
children, but not so early that the glass of champagne in your
hand makes you look as if you have a serious problem.

Style | etiquette 81
if you’re very posh, the ideal time is to wait until after lunch. this, however,
also requires you to have children with self-control, which very few of us have.
if this is terrible news to you, know that it could be worse. the spanishopen
their presents on the morning of January 6th – try explaining that to a screaming
toddler.
When spending Christmas with another family, you must take your cue
from them and go by the law of whomever’s house it is. this, as we have all
experienced, can be rather agonising. especially if you are with a family as boring
as bat sh*t and wait for everyone to open a present individually followed by a
thank-you speech. Which brings me to my next point, how on earth do you say
thank you to a floral-covered shower cap, or something just as detestable?
Four things to say when you
don’t like your present:
1. “Oh that’s lovely, how generous,” and smile.
2. “this is too much! you really shouldn’t
have… you shouldn’t have...”
3. “i just love useful presents. they are the best.”
4. “how fun!”
And, if you do?
“thank you!”
