Very sad news. I remember phoenix so well. What will happen to Oliver Sprout?

I can't remember how old Oliver Sprout is, if he's still alive I hope he's found a loving home.

Was Phoenix's friend not going to look after him, or did I imagine that?

Yes, I think she was.

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.

Marydoll Sun 14-Apr-24 15:31:17

I got a shock when I read this heading. It brought back so many memories.
I am so sorry to read about Bill. 😪

RIP Bill.

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

kittylester Sun 14-Apr-24 14:57:57

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.
