I live five kilometres from the heart of Melbourne and since I don't work there anymore

I find that I hardly ever visit, I actually forgot about all the hidden places amongst it's streets and lanes.

 I'm not one that enjoy's large shopping complexes where all the shops are the same enclosed under one roof including it's own food court, as I find them all rather depressing.

Today Andy and I walked the girls to school, then continued on to the station 

to take the train into the city.

It was a place of enchantment seeing it with fresh eyes.

The architecture of the old buildings squashed between the new.

Dazzling designer shop fronts as we walked up Collins St.

Tiny cafes down lane ways and quaint bookshops.

In need of some refreshment we found a sweet cafe / bar hidden 

away down a lane and up a flight of stairs.

Not sure on what we would find we were delighted when we opened the 

door into a Dickensian style abode.
