Lovely Leederville


Visiting Leederville is a treat any visitor to Perth should experience. A gem in the city where trendy boutiques, unique bars, restaurants and a plethora of amazing cafes lie, it’s the belle of the ball as far as areas are concerned. KG introduced me to it last Wednesday when we went for a quick bite at The Garden followed by a trip to Luna cinema to see Black Swan (amazing by the way). Suitably impressed as I was, we went back again today for another look – this time to sample some of the amazing cake at Greens CafĂ© and have a rummage through the boutiques.
I used to talk about opening my own cafe as a kid and it's something I'd still like to do. It embodies everything I love - tea, cake, coffee, newspapers, nice lights, wall art, music and happy, chilled-out people. Sadly there are about a squillion of these places in Perth, all running successful joints with a stream of devoted clientele. So until a) we win the lotto or b) a perfect business opp comes up that positively reeks of success (and poses minimal damage to savings), our little tea house will have to wait...
On a completely different note, we saw The Fighter tonight - wow wow and wow. Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale and Amy Adams are Superb. Four potatoes!
