the day the carpets came up
DESCRIPTION
My Grandfather died on the 29th February 2008. I visited his house for the last time on the day the decorators were re-painting, pulling up the carpets and stripping layers of wallpaper. Faded and worn patches were revealed, evidence of forty years of various room layouts. The only item of furniture left on the day was his chair.TRANSCRIPT
The Daythe CarpetsCame Up
Hannah Hughes
My Grandad died on the29th February 2008.
I visited his house for the last time on the day the decorators were
re-painting, pulling up the carpets and stripping layers of wallpaper.
Faded and worn patches were revealed, evidence of forty years of
various room layouts.
The only item of furniture left on the day was his chair.
