    Sorry to hear that about Mr F's job Fortune, but you're right, I'm sure. All your efforts to manage the budget/overpay mean you'll be in the best place to weather the storm should it arrive.
    Thanks MV - it's only uncertain in the same way everyone's job is uncertain at the moment but still... a little uncertain.  Yes, we may still end up in a tough situation but not as tough as it would have been if I hadn't found this site.
    Hare is my favourite I like muted colours though.  I think they are lovely. Have you thought about slate coasters and place-mats?
    Sorry about MrF job, it’s tough currently - we are worried too; esp about my role. Thank goodness for MSE though.
    The hare is the most popular so far CM.  Coasters and place-mats might be possible, however, I'm not sure I could seal the painting to stand up to that sort of wear.  I'll have to experiment.  It is a worrying time and yes, thank goodness for MSE.  I think we're all in a better place than we would have been without it.
    Sorry to hear about uncertainty around Mr F job. I think often that is worse than knowing either way. 

    Thanks for think recipe links. I’ve a turnip turning up in my veg box tomorrow so that might just be Saturday nights tea sorted! 

    Would you post the slates? I would definitely be interested in buying the hare and paying postage if you were. Even if you don’t want to go to PO just now with the current situation, that would be fine for me as I’m not in a rush for it. Appreciate it’s an extra layer of hassle so no issue if you only want to sell them through the annex. 


    Aww thanks Purps.  I'll pm you about the slate.  It was the turnip in my veg box that prompted me to look for a turnip recipe 😀
