As it’s the weekend, I have time to vary my morning walk a little. A mile and a half out, lies this gruesome place!

I think the thing I find the most harrowing and sad is the kitchen shelves. They must have once held wonders! Exotic herbs and spices, maybe even jars of Christmas mincemeat or elderberry wine. Now they are all empty.

I have never been brave enough to climb the stairs – the whole place is incredibly spooky!

It is the everyday signs of life which are the creepiest – coat hooks on ‘doors-to-nothing’, and still-peeling wallpaper!

This is definitely a walk for the morning… There’s no way I’d do it in the dark!

Thanks for reading. More soon,

Adam.
