This time last year

















Remembering Fred and Ginger. Ginger died this time last year, Fred only a few weeks before her. When I first spotted them behind a flowerpot in the garden, I had no idea that that these two would be quite unlike all the other feral cats that 'owned' our garden over the years. Fred was the front man, a little cheeky comedian, always running out to greet us as we came home but when he disappeared I realised (with some surprise) that gentle, frail little Ginger who hid behind him was a very special little cat too.

I have another reason to remember the 21st and 3oth of January too so it's become a bit of a sombre month for me.

Felicity -- some months just seem to contain all the most difficult memories -- I hope you're able to find a bit of comfort .... the kitties were indeed precious ... and how fortunate for your having known them ...

Felicity said...

Thanks very much Lin and Mattias. Yes, I think Fred, Ginger and I all were fortunate to find each other is so many ways.

Felicity, it's good to hear from you. I love the photos of Fred and Ginger. We have acquired a new cat over Christmas that we call Turtle. That makes 2 for us.

Have a great week!!
