    I love parsnips - how do you eat yours? Mr T brought me some today and I shall probably blanch and freeze for roasting.

    Redo we tend to roast them, however like them in stew, curried parsnip soup is nice and even tried it in a cake, which was surprisingly delicious .

    Viewers not interested. Which is fine, would have been nice but hey ho. Right time to refocus, it’s almost the big day, and after today the nights start to get lighter.🥳

    At least that means you don't have a sale to sort out over Christmas (as far as we know) - I don't expect many people will be looking to initiate a move until New Year.

    And yay! to lighter days!
