This is a forlorn state of Lawson's shopping centre in light of the highway widening I have written about recently.


Words to walk with:
From the nursery ryhme The House that Jack Built, used for no other reason than it's where I remember first learning the word forlorn though I didn't know what it meant any more than I understood what a crumpled horn was.

That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built."
