Mary Alice Joan / A Year from Oak Cottage

Mary Alice Joan has lost her job as a chef, and as she lived on the premises of her job, she has consequently lost her home as well. Please call round - thanks to Lyn for highlighting.

Sugar / Sugar's Sweet Spot

Sugar has had some bad news, as her son is going into a divorce. This has serious repercussions, not in the least for Sugar herself. Please call round to offer moral support - if anyone has any practical advice, this is most welcome.

Donna / Just Me

Donna is very sad to inform us that her dear horse Blue has had to be put to sleep. Please call round, she is very down.

Jane / A journey of another kind

I flag up Jane, although the regular readers of her blog are familiar with her predicament. Her husband, Martin, has been posting on her behalf in recent times, and a note of resignation to the inevitable is beginning to creep in. Please call round.
