Housing Wreck.

Goldfinch60



There we were walking along the beach

And there we saw it,

Saw our beach hut,

The one we would want

On this our Island of dreams.

It had outside stairs,

A roof to cover us ,

Pipework around,

And trees and bushes around it.

It also had and outside bath

So we could bathe and see the sea.

It needed a little work,

A little work to fix it,

But I am sure my mates would help,

Or would they just laugh,

As we did as we passed,

Passed this wreck of a hut.

      I can quite understand that Orchi, that is why the bath is outdoors o she can show her botox off.

        Dunno why she complains to me, it's a lovely looking hut - good enough for her! lol.

        I would imagine this beach hut in its pristine day was a delight to look at. Must have some wonderful memories ghosting its dilapidated state. A very ambitious project for sure. I take it, you aren’t going to volunteer Andy lol.

        • Goldfinch60

          Me! Volunteer! You must be joking Cassie.

          There are indeed some very good and well kept beach huts along the shore though.

          Thank you.

          One of my dreams it to buy a fallen down villa and rebuild it with love, I use the word dream as that is all it can be for now, I find it sad when homes or even sheds are left to ruins, and who wouldn't want to take a bath outside by the sea. 🀣 A lovely piece of reflection for both of us. LoL

            One day your dream may come true Teddy as may be our dream will come true when Mary wins the lottery 🀣🀣🀣.

              A fun read Gold. The danger of building a house on a foundation of sand has long been known. Build too close to the beach and nature has a way of getting even.

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you soren and your words are very true, there are some well kept huts there as well.

                        Looks like a start anew project. Pity the poor owner. Lovely beach for a walk though. Enjoyed your poem. - Phil A.

                        • Goldfinch60

                          A little fixer upper. Nothing that a little touch of love can't help with. πŸ‘

                              A fascinating write. There was a piece on breakfast news this morning about an elderly couple who had been going to the same beach hut since the 1960s.

                              • Goldfinch60

                                Yes I saw that on the news Tom, we have been going to the same place since we got together and have been there eleven times since 2022..
