Camden High Street, London

Camden was a new area of London for me to explore, I went there primarily to visit the markets but enjoyed the various sights on the High Street as well. I've already written a post about my visit to the markets. http://theresabigwideworld.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/camden-lock-markets.html To get to the Lock markets from the Camden town Tube Station, you needed to walk up the High Street. It's a one way street lined with small shops, mainly clothing and souvenir stores. What makes the High Street interesting is how some of the buildings are decorated from the outside. Just before arriving at the Lock markets I saw this store, it's a clothing store and those are old sewing machines, in the little window boxes. I loved the display, totally charmed by it. A close up. I did think this display was solely for this particular store, but then I saw an All Saints store in Berlin that also had a sewing machine window display. So perhaps it's their trad

Poreč, Croatia

Back to the ancestral homeland! A bit of a posting break as I've had a few days in Istria (the Croatian part) in a farmhouse belonging to a family member. I didn't have any internet access. Before heading off to the countryside, I spent a bit of time in the largest nearby town. I've been coming here since babyhood but haven't been in the old town for a few years so had a look around. The old town of Poreč (pronounced Por-ech) is built on a peninsula so it could be defended from land attacks, there used to be a wall across the peninsula where it goes out onto the mainland. The wall has long disappeared, all that's left is one of the towers. It amused me to see what this ancient tower is being used for now. I refer to the town by its Croatian name of Poreč as that's what I've always called it since I've from the era of when it was part of Yugoslavia and now Croatia. It's also known by its Italian name of Parenzo and the signs now have both n

The David Roche Foundation Museum

Adelaide, Australia The David Roche Foundation Museum is a house museum set up a collector of antiques and fine art. Initially David Roche collected art works for his own enjoyment and as he got older he researched house museums around the world. Using those museums as an inspiration he set up a foundation for the establishment of what is now the David Roche Foundation Museum. The Museum itself opened in 2016 (David Roche lived in the house until his death in 2013) and I recently went to have a look through it. The house is an example of a Federation Villa (built between 1901 and 1910), David Roche bought it in 1954 and changed the outside slightly. He had the grecian style columns added to the verandah, next to the house he had kennels as he bred dogs. The kennels have been demolished and exhibition space and a carpark were built there for the museum. (The carpark is very important as it's on a main road with very limited parking!) The exhibition space with the main e

Abigwideworld: There's a big wide world out there and I want to see as much of it as possible, is a sentence that I have used over the years to explain why I love to travel so much. I'm fortunate that I've been able to see quite a bit of the world, but there's a lot more to see! This blog is a great way for me to record my travels.
