The sun is shining this morning though

15 years nearly between the two photos.
We moved to this place on 13th July, 15 years ago
There was a 2-month-old ginger kitten the neighbours had just been given.
He was so kind his elder Master wanted to name him ‘Jesus”! At the end of the day his name was  ‘RouXy’.
We have lived here with Frimousse,  RouXy  and his Masters since then.
Very few photos of young RouXy  – no digital camera at the time. The photo at the bottom is the first we have – end of July or early August 2001.
RouXy’s elder Master would do a lot of gardening and take care of his hens. RouXy’s Masters would give us salads, eggs, tomatoes etc and very valuable help for growing vegetables in our own garden.
We used to have a drink together quite often as well as occasional fondues or réveillons.
The photo above is the last one we have of RouXy’s elder Master alive – a week yesterday.
He ďied yesterday early in the afternoon. He was such a nice man….

Today the sun is shining though.

Frimousse’s Master

“Bad news, this week, “ my Master sighs… “Like many other people on the Continent the British have decided to try and retrieve their lifestyle of ‘before’. A time when everything was in their control, when life was pleasant, when petrol was cheap, when Britannia ruled the waves, when the colonies provided abundant resources, when Arabs, niggers and coolies worked hard for little pay…”

My Master tells me he is not worried for himself or for us, Frimousse and RouXy, but for the young. Instead of regaining a lost Paradise he thinks they are more likely to regain the dark age of war and confrontation between nations.

RouXy’s Master is like a candle that slowly goes to its end…

 

The English take control
