I was saddened tonight as I was coming home to see a card pinned to a tree stating that Lucy the elderly black cat who used to sit on the wall at the London Road end of Taymount rise passed away today.
I believe she was about 17years old and I'm sure everyone who lives on 'the rise' would know her.
We've only lived here 2 years but she always made my day as she sat on the wall sweetly encouraging a stroke or a chat, no matter how rubbish a day I'd had at work it was nice to pet her and scratch her chin on the way home-or if I was not looking forward to the day ahead I'd enjoy seeing her on the way in to work and I'd always feel better for having spent a moment with her.
I had'nt seen her much these past couple of months and so I guess she must have become frail.
I just wanted to post a little tribute to a local character.
