Mysterious but sad.. by maggiemae

Mysterious but sad..

The scenes are so unfamiliar in the area where I usually walk. Now, the driveways and garages are full of cars, some talking over a wall to each other (rather loud) properties are being cleaned up etc.
This property has looked abandoned for some time and so today it is very obvious nobody lives here. A nice house bereft of a family!
Thankful for:
A delivery of dried meals from a Back Country Cuisine, a box of wine delivered, and a supermarket delivery of my order! I was so pleased the 2litre carton of icecream was not melted! We have enough food for 3 months! They sent a text saying it was on its way and I said to John - should be OK just wash our hands after handling! Then I saw this had been recorded on the text and sent to them!
A sad sign !

Yes the phone microphone can text every word! People here are cleaning up their landscapes like crazy. Brush is piled high by the curb waiting for pickup, makes us extra careful when we are walking. All your deliveries are just what we all need right now, especially the wine.

Such a waste of a lovely place to live....
Good that you are well stocked up. Enjoy and keep well.

Since lockdown at Paimpont, the village’s commerçants are taking telephone orders...and delivering twice a week...to those who are unable to come collect themselves. Think Bakery, 1 Stop Shop (a real emporium) and Butcher/Charcuterie and salads. We are extremely fortunate...and well fed!

Oh that is hysterical about the message!!
Sad about the empty house though

What a waste, pity that it is just left to fall apart one day.

Sad to see houses abandoned like this. Hopefully it will be loved again in the near future.

A sad sight indeed.

Ha ha I bet they laughed at that! Good to have so many supplies ...we are stocked up too shan’t go shopping for another two weeks now. Everywhere was very quiet....lots of delivery options here but you have to wait quite a while for them to arrive. Worried about our prime minister tonight who is in intensive care.

That is a good feeling to have all that stock in . We are all settling down into the new normal.

@happypat I think we get the latest on Boris over here. We don't want for anything at our house now! So good!

Hopefully some family will make it a happy home again. Glad to here that you are all stocked up.

Sad. Beautiful house!

@homeschoolmom It is a great house - double story and thankfully no broken windows yet!

Just as well you didn't inadvertently say something you shouldn't've. Must remember that trap!! Good to hear you're not going to starve and now have wine too. But what a shame about the house, especially when there are so many people without a roof over their heads.

@golftragic Its been like that for years! And there is another house in the same street that is abandoned too - a deceased estate.

@maggiemae How odd, you live in a great town too.
