I lost the family fortune gambling on crypto...
I admit it. We are flat broke - almost down to our last Mercedes.
I mean sure, you'll see a couple in these next few photos, but they're kind of old... Time to face the music. We are busted. The movers are here and we're moving out!
There's one of the few remaining Mercedes - on the left.
I hope me and Cathy don't wind up living in the Mercedes wagon!
We are leaving with almost nothing. Can you imagine all our belongings fitting into this one tiny truck?
What would Great-Great-Grandfather think? There are people living on the castle grounds! Looks like they've been there for a while too... This used to be part of the garden!
Look at all this stuff on the castle grounds!
It's shocking... this was the grand driveway, leading up to our old family home... a simple 19th century coal baron's estate.... (sigh!) But those days are long gone. We are leaving - on foot like the common folk we have now become. We are heading to some low class neighbourhood called Fernwood, where we have become tenants ... times have changed indeed!
At the bottom of the driveway you can still see part of the old gate to the estate.
People driving to work in the morning. Driving themselves mind you... no servants!
Can I learn to live like this? Lining up to wait for a bus...
They are very quaint, these tiny homes. What's that you say? Many of these homes have multiple apartments? Remarkable...
The poor folk seem to like vivd colours. Is this to brighten up their little lives?
It might be starting to work on me, that Fernwood vibe. Maybe I can do this!
I can learn to live down here a mile from the castle like some kind of Hobbit...
With my darling wife Cathy showing me the way...
We'll find some tree lined street, a tiny house and a five-year-old mini van, and live happily ever after! Two cats in the yard? No... Cathy is allergic.
This was my fictional tale of a fall from imagined wealth to the real world - the one that doesn't exist entirely in my head! :)
