Caption reads: "You can’t do a thing about it but I can’t be bothered going house hunting. I’ll just live each day as best I can. I keep thinking it could change again. The dust here doesn’t bother me, the noise doesn’t bother me. When they start pulling down houses the vibrations don’t bother me. Nothing bothers me. We’re all like that. That’s how you have to be when you can’t do a thing about it."

A photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "This photo epitomises aspects of many homes in the residential red zone. A home that used to be lovely once upon a time, and now is just a broken house, with indicators of the care once lavished upon it by the family that owned it in the rose bush still flowering by the door. Seabreeze Close, Bexley".

Caption reads: "I lived in London all through the Blitz, you get used to these things. Living here after the earthquakes didn’t bother me. I had a small battery operated radio and the neighbour lent me her generator. Initially I used it to run the fridge but after a while I couldn’t get it started. I don’t want to move, to be quite honest. There’s nothing that will be able to replace the life I built here."
