They must be almost be hoping for lockdown again. Very busy people recently. Glad they are there when needed.
A fallen woman , sounds like an episode of Harlots
It’s usually the Salvation Army rescuing “fallen” women.
Can’t stop laughing about this poor fallen woman. . But hope she’s OK.
She’s a friend of mine and sorry to say she broke her neck
How very Victorian – perhaps Gladstone will be along to help.
