- Charles Rennie Mackintosh -

CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH "

BORN IN GLASGOW IN 1868 - 1928

In 1884, at the age of 16, Mackintosh became an apprentice to an architect called John Hutchison. He was to work there until 1889, when he moved to the long established and prestigious architectural practice of Honeyman and Keppie. Throughout this time Mackintosh attended evening classes at the Glasgow School of Art, where his talents at last began to be recognised. It was through the School of Art that in 1888 he gained his first commission as a professional, and won a prize from the Glasgow Institute of Fine Art, for a design for a terraced house.

At the turn of the century Mackintosh became one of the forerunners of the distinctive ‘Glasgow’ style of Art Nouveau. In 1923 Charles and Margaret moved to southern France, to benefit from the warmer weather and the cheaper prices. Mackintosh turned to watercolour painting, intending to mount an exhibition in London. His attention to detail made him a very slow painter, but he had completed 40 paintings by the time he returned to London in 1928."

" "

~ ~" The story of Charles Rennie Mackintosh can be summed up by the valuation placed on four chairs he had designed that were amongst his belongings when he died. They were described as "practically valueless". In more recent times chairs designed by Mackintosh have sold at auction for more than £100,000 each.

OPAL

Historically, opal discoveries and mining progressed similarly to the ways diamond, emerald, ruby and sapphire were produced. As early humans found various gemstones, they slowly learned to work them into decorative shapes. As communities developed, gems became symbols of wealth.

The early Greeks believed the opal bestowed powers of foresight and prophecy upon its owner, while in Arabian folklore, it is said that the stone fell from heaven in flashes of lightning.

To the Romans, it was considered to be a token of hope and purity.

"

Mark Antony is said to have coveted the opal for his lover, Cleopatra.

Legend states that one Roman Emperor offered to trade one-third of his vast kingdom for a single Opal.

" " " " " " " " " " "

"

Opals were set in the Crown jewels of France and Napoleon presented his Empress Josephine a magnificent red opal containing brilliant red flashes called "The Burning of Troy."

PERTH TOWN HALL! CORNER HAY AND BARRACK STREETS!

!

The Perth Town Hall was officially opened on June 1, 1870 and is the only capital city town hall in Australia to be built by convicts. Major restoration works completed in 2005 have revealed the original brickwork, undercroft and arches of the Victorian Free Gothic style building. The Perth Town Hall has served numerous roles over the years, including as a government meeting place, marketplace, camel stable for explorer Ernest Giles and fire station. From the late 1870s, the city’s firefighting equipment including a 12man carriage was stored in the undercroft, although the firefighters were located some distance away and the horses were tied to taxis. In the event of a fire, the Town Hall bell rang out and the burly firefighters would dash up to the Town Hall, while the taxi drivers harnessed their horses to the fire equipment. This economical arrangement meant the service was not entirely efficient!!

Where the Old! meets the

Next door to the Theatre Royal, this mock Elizabethan reproduction of an old London street was built in 1937 as a gift to Perth by the charismatic and debonair millionaire, Claude de Bernales. This arcade is a true reflection of his attachment to England and features ornate mechanical clocks depicting two jousting knights at the Hay Street entrance and St George slaying the dragon at the St Georges Terrace entrance.!

De Bernales made his fortune buying and selling mining equipment in the Goldfields, although his business practises were questioned when the machines gained a reputation for poor quality and his acceptance of mine leases in payment for machines angered the miners.

Despite this, he always focussed on making a good first impression on the miners, changing into a full business suit carried in a suitcase on his bicycle before cycling into each miner’s camp.!

PALACE HOTEL! CORNER ST GEORGES TERRACE & WILLIAM STREET!

!

By the mid-1890s, there were so many gold seekers looking for a place to stay that hotels could not be built quick enough to accommodate everyone. The Palace Hotel was built in 1897 by John De Baun, who was determined to! build one of Australia’s most significant hotels. No expense was spared in the construction of the Palace, which upon opening was considered one of the most beautiful and elegant hotels in the country.!

Henry Lawson, a famous Australian writer, and his! wife Bertha honeymooned in Perth during 1896.

After walking around Perth knocking on the doors of hotels and guesthouses, the already celebrated author discovered no beds were available due to the accommodation shortage.

Tired and desperate, the honeymooners camped for a night or two by the railway line, under the cover of the Barrack Street Bridge.!

THE PERTH MINT !

CORNER HAY & HILL STREETS!

!

This was the final destination for the raw product from the Goldfields. The Perth Mint formed the prospectors’ finds into coins to be used as currency in the rapidly increasing economy. The Perth Mint was one of three branches of the British Royal Mint in Australia. It was constructed in 1899! to process the huge amounts of gold that were coming from the Goldfields and was seen as a symbol of Perth’s status in the British Empire. By the time of The Perth Mint’s construction, income from gold was responsible for nearly 90 per cent of the colony’s wealth. The Mint operated under British control until 1970, when ownership was transferred to the Western Australian Government. Today The Perth Mint is renowned as Australia’s specialist precious metals mint and a major tourist attraction. It is one of the oldest mints in the world still operating from its original location, and is open to the public daily.!

!

! ! ! ! !

Although The Perth Mint never fell prey to a large robbery throughout the gold boom years, small thefts occurred. One of the supervisors, Mr William Dark, forced workers to stay back late on a number of occasions searching for missing gold which he accused them of stealing. The gold was never found and it was later discovered that Mr Dark himself was the culprit, slipping the gold into his pocket!

Rosé spring chicken stew ! ! ! ! with bacon and ! ! ! ... potatoes ! ! ! !

Time: 1 - 2 Hours Serves: 4 - 6 People

Ingredients !

4 rashers of smoked streaky bacon, cut into matchsticks 1 free-range organic chicken, cut into 8 pieces (ask your butcher), skin-on sea salt black pepper 1 x 750ml bottle of rosé 2 bay leaves small handful mint sprigs, save some for garnish 500-750ml vegetable or chicken stock 400g small new potatoes 150g asparagus, woody ends trimmed and cut into 5cm lengths 150g podded fresh peas 10 radishes, halved 100g watercress drizzle of your favourite extra virgin olive oil

!

Method

1. Place a large, heavy-based saucepan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the bacon. Cook for three or four minutes, until the bacon fat renders and the bacon is beginning to colour. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out the bacon into a bowl, leaving the fat behind in the pan.

!

2. Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper. Brown the chicken in batches (so as not to crowd the pan) for about four minutes on each side, before transferring the brown pieces to a tray and repeating until all the pieces are a golden colour. Keep all the fat that has accumulated in the pan.

!

3. Return the bacon and the chicken pieces to the pan, not forgetting the lovely juices in the chicken tray. Pour in the rosé, herbs and top up with enough stock to just cover the chicken pieces. Pop the lid on the pan and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Once simmering, rest the lid on top, not completely covering and simmer over a medium to low heat for 40 minutes.

!

4. After 40 minutes, add the potatoes. Cook for a further 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender (push a sharp knife through them and it should slide in).

Check the seasoning.

!

5. Once the potatoes are tender, add the asparagus, peas and radishes and cook for a further two or three minutes before stirring the watercress through at the end. Put the lid on and bring to the table.

!

6. Serve with a baguette, a bottle of rosé and a gathering of friends.
