It’s quite a mystery over the road diagonally opposite my house. Some years ago, a retired couple lived there in a house similarly huge to ours, all by themselves. They had grown children, and it was the family home.
Then suddenly, they were gone, and one of their kids had moved in with his pregnant wife. Looked like a house swap had happened. They welcomed their little girl into the home, and life proceeded.
During lockdown, they were both incredibly busy as on-call nurses. Cars coming and going, but never both of them out at once, because let’s face it, who was going to look after the little girl?
Then, just as suddenly, they were gone and the house was empty. Two years of empty house, then a flurry of recent activity, then empty again.
Then he’s back today, to mess around the in garage. Apparently they are going to renovate, but when? When? Interested audience wishes to know.
