Good morning Restoration

Another day for continuous research followed by creative writing..

..I never really considered myself a writer, or even a reader for that matter,
until I realised it was the incorrect subject matter that made me so despondent to
the whole  idea of it.

I'm in the motion, currently of  researching the act of restoration, preservation and conservation-
a subject that i really have grown quite found of. I  met with one of the great historians of Port Elizabeth,
and it turns out that the building i have chosen let alone the street in which it is placed, is one of the most important in terms of historical value to South Africa (no pressure there :/) ..So I knew then that I needed sufficient research of this topic..

..To cut to the chase-- Never judge a book by its cover! I have found the most interesting and in actual fact-that condemned as {life lessons} from this tattered little one.
I discovered that one of the greatest approaches to successful restoration is just the act of the building being true to itself..true to its age..
Which leaves me with -my quote of the day- from this book of knowledge:

" No work is worth doing, unless it is authentic"- Dr Mary Cook.
