introduction from the principal

Passionate about real estate and an esteemed sales veteran, it is no wonder James Snodgrass is one of the most successful real estate agents on the North Shore. He lives and breathes real estate and his passion shows in everything he does. In fact, real estate is in James’ blood – his great grandfather Robert Todd Forsyth founded RT Forsyth over 115 years ago.

Before returning to take over the helm of Forsyth Real Estate, James was a member of the Army Special Forces, Commando Battalion. He then became the youngest Australian Associate Director of one of the largest commercial real estate firms in the world.

Bringing buyers and sellers together is what James does best. He makes an effort to really know the clients he is working for and draws on his extensive real estate expertise in advising them on all aspects of the sale of their home. Property owners who choose Forsyth to sell their home receive outstanding service and superior real estate marketing. As James explains

>

" At Forsyth we pride ourselves on personalised service and being accessible to every property owner. At the same time we are totally committed to achieving the best possible result for every owner on every property we sell. Our longevity is proof of our ability to achieve excellent results".

Think Sydney Real Estate.

Think Forsyth.“We know how to highlight the best features of a vendor’s home”. James is energetic, thorough and dedicated, always working to advance his clients’ interests and achieve the maximum possible price for their property. The majority of his listings come from referrals, something which makes James particularly proud, “I have developed strong relationships with clients over the years and in some cases have sold clients’ second and third homes”.

The longevity, professionalism and integrity of our firm has seen many clients stipulating in their wills that the home is to be sold through Forsyth. These people have valued our service over the last 100 years and we see a commitment like this very rewarding and rare.

James has an enviable reputation in the sale of North Shore real estate and a record of achievement which is second to none. Having James Snodgrass working for you will make all the difference in the sale of your home.

Forsyth has been selling real estate Sydney’s North Shore for over 100 years, and we’re proud of our reputation for professional advice, ethical dealings, excellent service and great results. Since the agency was established in 1898, Forsyth has been a leader in the way real estate is sold. We were one of the founding members of the Real Estate Institute, and continue to promote training, ethics and professionalism in the industry.

We have led the way in the introduction of technology, and we have consistently achieved record results both through auction marketing and private treaty sales. Above all, we have the local knowledge to be able to accurately advise you on the potential price of your property and the knowledge and commitment to help you achieve that goal.

Reputation for Results. Since our very first house sales and land auctions back in the early 1900s, Forsyth has consistently set new records. Our commitment to every client is to deliver the best possible price for their property. This might be by auction or private treaty sale, depending on the current market, the individual property and the vendor’s preferences. Throughout the marketing of the property, our agents remain dedicated to the task of finding the right buyer at the right price, and the high level of referrals and repeat business is recognition of the results we achieve.

The Posy Supply Co

We sat down over a coffee with local denizen, Louise Reeves, owner of the newly launched Posy Supply Co, and asked her exactly what it is that she thinks makes Freshwater the pick of the bunch.

When asked to describe the Northern Beaches in one word Louise’s eyes light up. “Energetic”. As the walking embodiment of her sentiment it’s not hard to see why. Louise is stylish and positive and her enthusiasm contagious. A Northern Beaches native, The Posy Supply Co was a venture inspired by her desire to meet a gap in the market she discovered when trying to send her girlfriends a day-brightening bunch of flowers- one that moved away from the traditional, expensive and often unimaginative options on offer.

Enter The Posy Supply Co, a local venture that reflects the stylish, simple, relaxed approach the Northern Beaches is known for. Fun, pretty and with an emphasis on “bang for your

buck” The Posy Supply Co lends itself to the underpinning philosophy that beauty doesn’t need to be expensive or complicated to be vibrant, stylish and unique.

Drawing on her background in weddings, interior design and outdoor landscape styling, Louise’s unfussy, simple and edgy bouquets punctuate and celebrate life’s big and little moments alike. From workmates to clients, friends to family, and everything in between The Posy Supply Co’s delivery route stretches from Manly to Palmy – not a bad commute in the way of scenery for her and her young team.

With both her home and workspace Freshwater based, amidst beautiful surrounds and sandwiched between cafes, restaurants and some of the world’s most picturesque beaches, Louise’s affection for her neighbourhood is evident.

Citing summer as her most anticipated time of the year, and an avid fan of being outdoors “whenever possible”, Louise also acknowledges the easy accessibility to the city which is handy for her early starts on her daily pilgrimage to the Sydney Flower Markets.

Despite the somewhat ungodly hour she commences perusing the flower markets before dawn this is her favourite part of her day. Every morning is unique, and she enjoys drawing creative inspiration from the colourful surrounds, diverse customer base and eclectic buzz of patrons from all over Sydney converging upon this vibrant space.

When she’s not working on her posies Louise can be found eating out at Manly’s popular Mexican hotspot Chica Bonita (great owners, great margaritas, and fast becoming a Manly institution); or enjoying a quick break at the edgy local café Cruise Espresso, known for their great coffee and cool tunes. *

mattdampneyartwww.mattdampney.com

A life dedicated to exploring the intricacies and wonder of the artistic world, while constantly developing his own unique and wildly creative style, has led Matt Dampney to the position he finds himself in today. It’s a journey that began in the rural, dusty setting of Tamworth, NSW, where he was born in 1977. But it was a move to Sydney in his formative years that really helped shape the artist he has become.

Attending prestigious Barker College on Sydney’s upper North Shore, Dampney developed a love for painting, drawing and design. His graphic art background helped in developing his own style. Simplistic line work and bold graphic colours bring out the personalities of his subjects. From murals to live skateboard art, book Illustrations to bespoke branding and textiles to paintings, Matt has complete control over these widely diverse disciplines.

In 2014, with his young family in tow, Dampney relocated to Manly Beach to pursue painting fulltime.

To view Matt’s latest work he will holding a solo art show at ‘Kind Of’ Gallery in St Leonards 2-12 December 2015. *

With so many recognisable styles in today’s society it is hard to know which style category your property might fall in to – Midcentury, Coastal, Hamptons, Rustic, Contemporary, Modern , Traditional. The list goes on, but one thing is certain – styling a property for sale can make all the difference in achieving a higher sale price.

With the current Northern Beaches style trend focusing on coastal Hamptons, nothing compliments this style more than fresh elements throughout all areas of your home. Styling can be as simple as a textural leaf in bottle vase, a cluster of fresh ripening pineapples or an impressive vase filled with tropical palm fronds and ferns. Introducing these elements creates a natural sense of freshness, complimenting the crisp lines and natural hues of a coastal home.

With winter approaching fast, creating a warm and inviting home should be at the forefront of your mind. Cozy nooks with wing backed chairs, luxurious throws and beautiful linen cushions, give any prospective buyer a feeling of homeliness and warmth. Colour palettes of stormy blue/grey, rich yellows and emerald/garden greens bring the outside in to freshen up the indoors and help connect the entire decorating theme.

Something not to be forgotten is that you are selling your home and we think it is still important to remember that, you have lived there and you want the buyers to feel at home as soon as they walk into your property. Minimalist may be a popular decorating trend that works in warehouse conversions and more modern homes but when you are selling a family home where your children have taken their first steps, swam their first lap in the pool and played their first cricket match in the garden you want to be able to relate this feeling of comfort and homeliness to your potential buyers so they can visualise themselves living in your home, sitting in front of the fireplace, enjoying the pool or cooking up a storm in the kitchen entertaining friends. The buyer you want is the one that has already virtually moved in before they even make a bid. *

forthe love of surf

Young, focused and undeniably gifted 25 year old Queenscliff local Chris Eyre-Walker is the owner of local surf photography business, SurfLove. After moving to the Northern Beaches in 2012 Chris hit his stride, combining his love for the surf with his passion for photography, and he hasn’t looked back since.

Drawing inspiration from surf photography greats including Jon Frank, Ray Collins and Chris Burkard, Chris constantly challenges himself with assignments ranging from remote hidden beaches to international pro surf comps; but credits the Northern Beaches as one of his favourite shooting locations in the world.

His talent is unquestionable, and his connection with people and the ocean evident, however behind the beauty and effortlessness of each image is a physically gruelling and dangerous process - one that finds him constantly pushing boundaries of what’s possible in order to capture the perfect shot.

Surf photography is a fascinating and treacherous medium where calculated risk meets inspired creativity. A successful picture requires a combination of finely attuned skills operating in unison- physical demands, technical precision, choice of location, composition, and simply staying out the way when you need to! The challenges are constant and the art lies in creating the perfect tension between all the elements, but when the balance is right these components combine to create a powerful synergy.

Chris explains: “Shooting surf doesn’t come without risk and for many of my shots it means that I need to position myself right on the edge of the impact zone ... The bigger the wave, the greater the danger but at the same time the more rewarding the results.” *

THE NOOK Wholefoods

Pop into The Nook on any given day and you’re likely to find bright-eyed barista, Alasdair, creating one of his caffeinated masterpieces. Recently opened in the burgeoning suburb of Elanora Heights The Nook is a joint venture between local Carla Haining and her partner Adam Cummings, born of their desire to nourish their patrons with beautiful raw foods, ethically sourced coffee and local, organic produce.

With its overstuffed armchairs, recycled timber surfaces (Adam’s handiwork), and polished concrete floors the space- like the food- is simple, earthy and stylish. The staff are approachable and friendly (although they take their coffee seriously), and the environment relaxed. This venue is fast becoming a local favourite and the result is edgy, playful

and honest organic wholefood, satisfying today’s growing awareness and appreciation for the importance of maintaining one’s overall health and wellbeing.

Both recent homeowners to the area the venue has also served as a great opportunity for the couple to get to know their new neighbourhood. “The people are lovely,” Carla smiles, crediting Elanora’s laidback, unpretentious community feel to a shared pursuit of an active lifestyle, their beautiful, relaxed surrounds, and their unbeatable Northern Beaches coastline .

When they’re not behind the counter you’ll find Carla and Adam perusing the nearby Warriewood farmers market or heading down to Manly to their slightly hidden local, Donny’s, with the occasional guilty splurge at Freshwater’s renowned hatted restaurant, Pilu (“It’s well worth it” she assures me).

From the Coop to

the KitchenIn a peaceful home in Forestville reside two friendly chickens, Bianca and Margery. These 11-month old Sussex hens hail from the delightful secret haven known as New Leaf Nursery, over at Ingleside. Chooks are wonderful pets with quirky, individual personalities. If handled regularly from a young age, they enjoy cuddles and are very responsive to their owners, yet they don’t require the more intensive care of other companion animals. Chickens keep each other company and are happy whether you have lots of time to interact, or whether you only spend time with them occasionally. Ideal for busy families, only a little time is needed each day for food and fresh water, and a simple clean-up of the coop on the weekend. There is something curiously relaxing about digging about in the veggie patch with a couple of chickens milling around and scratching alongside. Social yet unperturbed, hens are remarkably giving pets. As well as the tranquility they encourage, they are a wonderful learning experience for children who, from a young age, can help with food, water and collecting eggs each day.

Speaking of eggs – yum! There is nothing like a fresh egg straight from the garden. Soft-boiled, gently baked, lightly scrambled, fried or poached – they are incomparable to standard supermarket eggs. And because they’re a gift from your pets, they have that extra-special ingredient – love. Soft boiled eggs in a colourful egg cup with buttery toast soldiers is our Sunday morning ritual. What bliss!

But it’s not just about the eggs, chickens are the ultimate “eco-pet”, eating up kitchen scraps and providing manure which will have your herbs and vegetables growing like crazy. We’ve been keeping chooks for around 7 years and haven’t looked back. Bianca and Margery have a lot to give and we love having them around.

What to do: Line the bottom of a baking dish with baby spinach and scatter over chopped tomatoes, diced red onion and spoonful’s of Persian fetta.

In a small bowl crack four eggs and add chopped parsley, salt & pepper, dukkah (roughly a tablespoon) and whisk lightly to combine. If just serving to adults I like to add a few shakes of cayenne pepper also to give it a little kick.

Pour egg mixture evenly over already prepared baking dish. Once this has settled crack four eggs, without breaking the yoke, in to areas of the baking dish that need filling. Add a few heaped teaspoons of relish to the top, sprinkle with dukkah and pop in the oven for roughly 35 mins. Just keep checking to see if the eggs whites have set- similar to cooking a quiche.

Remove from oven and serve with cos lettuce and avocado. And a strong coffee of course! Enjoy. *

BAked eggs

Preparation time: 45 minutes

Serves: 4 people

This is a great go-to recipe if you have a house full of visitors (whether it be planned or unplanned!) and need to fill hungry tummies quickly at breakfast time. There are no tricky techniques involved and you can vary the recipe to your liking.

What You Need:8 eggs – depending on the size of the dish you can always add more. Half a punnet of cheery tomatoes halvedBunch of fresh parsleyTomato relish – I use Jill’s CuisineHalf a red onion dicedPersian fettaBaby SpinachDukkah Rock salt and Pepper to taste.

The Spice of Life

In my humble opinion the most underrated tool in achieving a healthy lifestyle is home cooking. Sourcing our own food, like from local farmers markets and understanding what really goes into what we’re eating helps us to really get connected to our food. When we cook our own meals we consume far less sugar, salt and calories not to mention other nasties that sneak their way into highly processed foods.

Beyond the actual ingredients themselves is something just as important. When you make your own food you infuse it with love. You might be thinking that sounds all a bit too ‘hippy-dippy’ for you, but think about this: Food is something that brings everyone together. We can cook together; we can share it with our loved ones. The energy you bring to your food preparation is what eventually ends up in your body. It’s the vitality that feeds us - it brings us good health and energy and - yes, that’s right - love.

With that being said one of my top tips for making home cooking both super simple and delicious is to use herbs and spices. As the weather cools down and we start to crave more comforting foods herbs and spices are a great way to add flavour, plus they also have their own health benefits like cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties and fennel can help aid digestion. Using different herbs and spices in our cooking is also the subtle difference between making food with Indian or Thai or Chinese influence. So it also makes your cooking extremely versatile. Make sure your cupboard is fully stocked with a great selection!

This recipe is our take on Tandoori Chicken - using our own spice mix! By marinating the chicken in the spices it’s both tender and flavoursome. This recipe is dairy free, grain free. It would also be great as a centrepiece to an Asian inspired sharing dinner platter amongst friends or to share with family.

What to do: Put all the spices for the marinade mix into a bowl and work into a fine texture. Transfer into a small pan and gently toast the spices on a low heat for about 1-2 minutes. This allows the flavor and aroma of the spices to intensify. Remove from the heat and place into a mixing bowl. Add the garlic and chili to form a rough paste. Add the lemon juice and coconut cream and mix well.

Add the chicken and coat with the marinade, then cover with cling film and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 6 hours. (Tip: You can prepare the marinade the night before and leave it to work it’s magic in the fridge the following day).

Preheat the grill in your oven as hot as it will go. Place the chicken on tin foil in an oven tray keeping as much of the marinade on as possible. Pop under the grill for 15-20 minutes turning occasionally until colour changes to golden brown, don’t worry if you get some charring, it all adds to the tandoori effect!

Meanwhile, gently blanch the broccoli in some water for a few minutes and cut the green capsicum into medium sized pieces. Once ready take the broccoli and coat with the capsicum in the leftover marinade. Then spread out on a large baking tray in a single layer. Add the ghee to the baking tray. Place in the oven for 10 minutes, they should be tender when done.

Put everything onto a plate and scatter fresh coriander and spring onion on top. *

The Beaches Market

As the glow of white tents draws closer the anticipation builds; it’s market day, the day I’ve worked all week for. The day you can completely zone out, wonder around perusing handcrafted treasures, coffee and flowers in hand, feeling like a whimsical character from Amelie…. But perhaps that’s just me.

As I turn to my partner with the excitement of a five year old and intentions of asking him to come with me, I notice that he is clearly holding his breath and hoping that I change the topic fairly quickly. I guess it’s not for everyone.

Attending markets has been a life long obsession for me and it’s filled with fond memories. Bartering grandpas for additions to my stamp collection at a young age, filling my apartment with retro furniture finds and buying those ‘vintage’ boots that turned out to be just old and a little smelly.

My standout discoveries at The Beaches Market would have to be the Pasta Gallery prawn & garlic ravioli (albeit $20 but worth it), cold pressed juice from the lovely ladies at Projuice and the passionfruit tapioca pudding made by Arlingtons – I can not explain how delicious this actually is and not ashamed to say that I ate the whole tub in one sitting. *
