Hi, Bertie here.  I’ve been told it’s Colman’s day today.

I didn’t know Colman, so I asked Percy about him.

He said he didn’t know Colman.  He died on 25th September 2015, which was a couple of months before Percy arrived.  He said Kevin used to talk about him, because he was Kevin’s friend.

I didn’t know Kevin very well, so that didn’t help.  Percy said Kevin was much younger than Colman, which is why he looks so much bigger in this photo. It was taken when Colman was very old.  Colman was over seven years old when he died.

Wow!  That’s ancient.

Apparently Midge and Oscar knew him.  I asked Midge and he said he couldn’t remember, he was very young then.  Percy said “Pish.  I bet he remembers the birthday cake with seven candles.”

Midge said “Oh, yes, I remember that.  He was the brown pig, lemon agouti it’s called.”

I’m silver agouti.  It’s a very handsome colour.  I expect Colman was very handsome in his prime.  He looks like a nice chap.

It’s sad nobody really remembers him.  Except Mummy.  I bet Mummy remembers him.
