Some days create special memories, almost by accident. Last week Joe and I met our special friends Karen and Emma for Lunch in the Mall (Rundle Mall, Adelaide, for those not local!) I have so many memories of the Mall growing up – it was where my Grandma always took us in the holidays; where we hung out after school; the location of my first job; and not surprisingly, the location of many a shopping trip since! In fact, it was years before I realised there were Shopping Centres in Adelaide – with a roof and air-conditioning! For those not familiar, it is located in the heart of the CBD in Adelaide, and although it has undergone a few facelifts over the years, has retained it’s character and most of it’s icons along the way.
Our first stop was the pigs – gotta love these guys you can climb all over them, and they stay right there!
You never know who you will meet ( Editors Note – these are not the sporting colours we support!)
The recently polished Mall’s Ball’s – what more can we say? We also visited the re-located and re-painted fountain(No, we didn’t take photo’s. No, I don’t know why). Then we had a joy-ride in the glass elevators at the Renaissance Centre. Twice. But don’t tell Centre Management – this is not permitted apparently.
And finally we had lunch to celebrate a special Birthday.
There was lot’s of walking for little legs, much to look at, and hopefully, some special memories.
Happy 5th Birthday Emma!
