Industrial arch.....

Ok so it's not the St. Louis Gateway Arch shown to us from so many unique aspects most Thursdays by proud new grandad Bob Crowe and it's probably a wee bit extreme to use it as an indication as to the state of my kitchen right now..close though :) but it definitely is one of the signs that Perth is developing at an ever increasing pace....could this prime spot in the heart of the CBD on Murray St. be the future location of Top Shop just one of the many fashion labels joining the rush to take advantage of Perth's growing population and economy?

For those of you who read about Perth here regularly, you will know how much j'adore St. George's Terrace which runs parallel with the Swan River.. apart from the 'fabulousness' of the terrace itself, the glimpses of the river as you cross each street are an added bonus alas soon to be obliterated by the...wait for it! RANT ALERT :) the hideously pretentious Elizabeth Quay project due to be completed 'sometime' in the far future....

I took the shot below last month on a dull rainy day from the top of Kings Park and couldn't help thinking how wonderful it would be to stand here and view a softer 'sweeping down to the river' family friendly environment more suited to Perth's much loved and enticing 'laid back' image..ah but that's moi, a true romantic at heart :) It's been a while since we've done any serious renovations, I'd forgotten exactly how frustrating it can be, it'll be a few weeks yet before I can show you the results..I'm sure you've all knocked down a dividing wall at some point.what an amazing difference it makes oui! Looking forward to catching up, hope your week has started well, take care.....
