Really sad news, at least she had her cats with her and the best way to go is during ones sleep.
We had such a wonderful time in New York with Micky that year, I can’t now remember when it was. We went off to the barn, she drove up with her cats wondering all over her car.
Micky went fishing and swam in her lake but there were only turtles there and these had probably eaten all the fish and they nearly bit Micky’s bottom. Di was surprised and worried that he had jumped into her lake with the carnivorous turtles.
Di came to Rome to see Mummy who was already sick with emphysema, it must have been in 1987 when we were living in a flat in Laurentino 38. She was so wonderful with Micky who was just over one. I must have a photo of them both but I have not yet been able to find it yet.
When I have a little more time, I’ll write about other memories of Di, like Patrick’s wedding in the lake district or a trip to Clober.
