Homes away from home…

Have a look at this home. To tastelessly quote David Frost, who would live in a house like this? Need a clue? Check out the floor…

Yes, this is the home of Edwin, a migrant living in the Calais ‘Jungle’, the camp that has just been cleared. This sobering series of photographs of make-shift migrant homes appeared in the Guardian a couple of days ago. The copyright belong to photographer Mary Turner and Getty Images, so please follow the link to see more, including a school and a church set up at the camp.

    awful. what amazes me is that Edwin has still made it a ‘home’ albeit a sand floor and no real walls.

    i’m in the process of moving this week and it reinforces a feeling i’ve been having all week.

    we have quite a lot of shit we don’t need and harbour a continual seeking for wanting more.
