We collected Rosie's ashes yesterday afternoon from Coastways, and brought them home.
We buried the ashes themselves in the earth near the palm tree that she used to enjoy climbing in her youth. To mark the spot we have placed a copper coal scuttle containing various rose plants. Later on we intend to plant a rose bush there.
The bamboo casket that her ashes came in is now home to her toy mouse that she has had since she was a kitten, when we took her home from the RSPCA in Patcham in 2009.
We had a drink in her memory in the Napier and the Dover last night.
RIP Rosie (2009-2021)
