Churchill (1 March 2014 - 6 March 2026) came into our lives in 2014 and quickly became the heart of our family. Curious, affectionate and full of quiet loyalty, he grew alongside us and Matilda, always close by whether patrolling the gardens at Tipsy Hill, greeting visitors at the cellar door, or simply curled up in the warmth beside us.
He watched over Matilda from the time she was born, just as she later watched over him in his final years - a beautiful circle of loyalty between them. Known by many who visited Tipsy Hill, Churchill’s gentle nature and constant presence touched people far beyond our family.
For twelve years he was part of our pack, part of our daily rhythm, and part of Matilda’s childhood, a deeply loved companion whose quiet devotion will always be remembered.
