Aftermath

They left the rented cottage in good condition but left her house in a terrible state.  The front room filled with broken furniture, discarded drinks cans, rotten food and the infestations occur when food is left to rot.  When cleared there were stains on all surfaces: sofa, walls, floor.  The bedroom was in a similar state but with faeces on the bed.  The linen had to be incinerated and the mattress replaced.  The kitchen and the bathroom were in a similar state but with nothing broken they were easier to clean.  Her father brought her back.  He had the foresight to book them both into the hotel, though I am sure he thought he would be making the house suitable to mobility issues not deep cleansing.  My friend gave me all the details about the state of the cottage, not that the father or her ever divulged any information, rather the pool of cleaners and repairmen in our village is limited, and all of them worked at the hotel.
