sildilYesterday was a sad day in the Sildil Household. Eldest went to clean out the fish tank and found 'Clint' (don't ask!) his elderly goldfish had died....and I cried! Over a Goldfish!(well actually, silver, he had gone 'grey' with old age).
He was 16 years old though, which is pretty good innings for a Goldfish I guess. We buried him in the garden under the peony.
..and now to cheer you all up a bit, I found an old sketch book and here are some pretty piccies...
