Dutch tales

Desolate

For as long as I've walked this path I've loved seeing this place. It had a patch of garden full with bushes and trees. Lush and green. And a large vegetable garden at the back. With an old large shed for tools and storage. 

It's all gone now. The trailer will soon be gone as well I think. 

An old man lived here. He once struck up a conversation. He suffered from short term memory loss since the war. He told me he got hit on the head. He fought in Indonesia. When he came back he couldn't find a permanent place to stay. One temporary house after another. Until he moved into this place. He got permission to live here after some struggle. Provided it would only be lived in by him and not again by someone else after he left. 

He must've died. So all is being taken away. Such a shame of that little patch of lush green.

I've looked through my blips and photos on the computer but I can't find a photo of how it looked before. I've added a screenshot of Google maps.
