This old house, beautifully located right on the seashore, had been empty for some time. It was not a particularly beautiful or otherwise very interesting house, so one expected that the new owners would tear it down and start building a new home on the site.
Still, when I saw the demolition men at work this morning, I felt a little bit sad. I did not know the people who had built and lived in the house, but there must have been a time, when they were thrilled about moving into their new home on the beach. For them the modest house probably was a small piece of paradise on earth.
Those people are now gone, and the house of their dreams joined them today.
A reminder of the transience of life ...
Hopefully the new home, soon to be be built on the now empty site, will be a nice one.
Hello and many thanks for a a very nice and interesting blog. I am born in Hittarp but moved away 1980. It is sad to see the home disappear, we knew Magnus, the man who used to live there. Read about him on this link which was in the paper for his 90th birthday!
