Nicki took me out sightseeing for the day.
\nFirst port of call was Parliament of Western Australia.<\/a>

….the front is rather sterile.\"img_9464\" \"img_9465\"
\nAcross the motorway we could see the Barracks Arch<\/a>.
\n\"img_9468\"
\n\"img_9467\"
\nIt is the remainder of The Barracks which were built in 1866 to house the Enrolled Pensioner Force who came out as guards on the convict ships.\"img_9469\" \u00a0\"img_9471\"
\nThis old concrete structure below parliament houses the public ablutions.
\nDespite it being rather grotty there were some great angles and lighting\"img_9473\" \"img_9474\" \"img_9478\" \"img_9480\"<\/p>\n

Lovely to find a spot of brightness amidst the greyness of the day.\"img_9482\"
\nBy the time we had explored the extremities, watched a media interview with an MP, we were rather tired and hungry so we made out way over to meet up with Judith.
\nWe had a lovely lunch at Dome.
\nNicki and me\"img_9487\"
\nJudith and moi.
\n\"img_9490\"
\nAfter Judith went back to work Nicki and I went for a wander around Subiaco.
\nFound this shop,\u00a0never seen a San Churro shop\u00a0before so was drawn in by the wonderful quotes and orangeness\"img_9493\"
\nDown the street were a line of shops with matching stained glass windows that are rather beautiful.
\n\"img_9497\"
\nAnd a very ornate beauty parlour with the wee pooch on couch
\n\"img_9499\"
\nThe magnificent Subiaco Hotel where Sam & I spent several hours the previous\u00a0Saturday \ud83d\ude09
\n\"img_9500\"
\nThen it was time to say goodbye to Judith and head home.
\nNicki & I\u00a0had such a good day, so lovely to finally get to know each other in the flesh after connecting for the past 18months of mutual support via\u00a0internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
