...is the birdhouse.
For many years I would see the old woman walking home with her groceries. She lived in a little red cottage along Björklundsvägen in Västerhaninge. Yesterday the cottage was gone. All that was left was now packed into four yellow containers. Today the containers were gone. The cottage was owned by the municipality. There was some problem with the sewer system, so when the old woman moved, they decided to tear the building down. A neighbour told me a sad story today. The old woman, who is suffering from dementia, had been back a few times. On her last visit, just a couple of days ago, she had turned around when she realised that her house was gone and told the neighbour that she had forgotten her keys.

Oh Steffe, that is a sad story. It must be very confusing for that woman.
Steffe, really a sad story. But moving and beautiful post.
sympa cette maison pour les oiseaux
Why oh why couldn't the authorities just fix the sewer problem. I'm sure it is more distressing for the woman to be in unfamiliar surroundings.
What a sad tale. I guess it will happen to us all. It makes you think... Lovely thought provoking photo too.
oh, steffe.
Oh so sad Steffe, I hate to think of people being all confused and alone.
