This true story happened several years ago. My lovely nephew and his partner moved into a house not far from where I live. They were doing bits and bobs to it, and as I drove past, I kept my eye out for the development.
I was then invited to go down and have a look at their new home and a catch up. When I arrived at the house, I could see some men on the roof. I knocked on the door, no reply, so I tried the door, and it was unlocked – so I went in. I guessed that my Nephew was up on the roof. I had a wander around the room and kitchen; it was lovely. Then when he didn’t arrive, I phoned him to let him know I was there.
My nephew responded, ‘where are you; we are looking for you out of the window.’ I was in an entirely different house, which was on the next street to them. I hadn’t had the sense to ask for the address, I just made an assumption that knew EXACTLY where it was.
The scary twist is that there was a HUGE dogs cage in the kitchen, I thought – they must have got a dog. Very lucky for me, the dog was not in the house.
The people who live there have no idea to this day that I wandered around their house, and I still pass it at least once a week.
