THANK you, Christopher Wardell, for your kind and encouraging words (HAS, Apr 17) in reply to my clean up letter.
It made me think and wonder how many more misguided people think about your choice of goldfish as a pet.
Clearly Mr Wardell must have thought a lot about his fish to take the trouble to send photographs to relatives. My two fish – Rosie and Jim – are great, feed from my hand, and always make me feel calm and tranquil.
It seems a bit mean to only be able to keep their water fresh in return but I guess they always seem to look happy. So that’s all that matters.
Rosemary Buckton, Darlington.
