The lady who lived in the blue house.
The lady who lived in the blue house.
It's timber is as dry, weather beaten and splintery as the fence.
She was an elderly lady and she lived in the blue house for many years.
More years that perhaps even she could remember.
Her husband had passed years before and she spent her days idling away the days with her knitting.
If her time wasn't consumed with knitting then she could be found reading some cheap magazine in which news agencies and supermarkets specialise.
She was always friendly to passerby's and if you stayed for a chat well you heard it all.
You heard how the world had changed and "not for the better mind you".
It was quite possible that even if this frail old lady did not know about a particular subject then she made it her business to know all about it.
It was the onset of winter and one day she did not appear out the front of the blue house.
As people rushed about their daily lives nobody really noticed her absence.
All anyone really knows is that she slipped away quietly.
Her body has gone but the memories of the old lady who lived in the blue house remains.
An empty chair remains.
