A Visitor From Afar

Yesterday, as often happens, I saw 

through my window, somebody taking photographs.

A few moments later, the doorbell rang, and as I opened the door a couple stood in the street, the man apologised for bothering me, and explained that they had travelled from Tasmania to visit this house as it was here that his great great grandfather had lived.

I made them a pot of tea as he began his story.

The family were Ship builders, who had lived in the village for generations before his great grandfather emigrated to Australia to start a new Ship building yard in Perth.

The man's father then went 

 to Tasmania which is where he was born.

After spending years travelling the world, It's quite something to live where the world comes to visit.
