Many of you might remember Phoenix's witty and very funny posts, some of them describing her beloved husband's idiosyncrasies, his trips to the shop and coming back with the wrong items etc.

Are samosas interchangeable with naan bread?
When is a cauliflower a cabbage?

Rip Bill

RIP Bill.

Thanks you, Maw.

RIP Bill.

I came across Phoenix's curse for the Idiot just the other day and had a smile. Sadly, it didn't work but really cheered me up when I needed it.

RIP Bill.

Phoenix was a special lady. I loved her tales of the doings of Oliver Sprout. She is missed.

I agree Marydoll and thanks Rosie's Maw for letting us know. He could not have been that old, he was still working. So sad.

I was one of the ones in the doghouse, I remember that time well.
