    I was a bit confused for a bit there till I realized I was logged out for some reason. 
    @Busy-Lizzie you have worked so hard these last few months I hope your move is glitch free and you can relax a bit more in the new year. 
    In case I don't remember later happy new year to you all. Fingers crossed for a better 2021 for everyone.

    @Busy-Lizzie   So young for you to be a widow with perhaps teenage children.  Difficult. I understand you have met someone to continue your path in life with.  My husband was 55 - from cancer, and I too, have met someone.  
    I hope you have a pleasant evening tonight.  We've already toasted the New Year in - it was New Year in NZ at midday here.  So we raised a glass!!
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    Have just opened a bottle of English sparkling, so would love you all to join me in raising a glass, virtual or otherwise.
    Stay safe.

    I want to send a special shout out to an old colleague of mine Prof. Hugh Montgomery, for saying what should have been said a long time ago.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Happy new year to all forkers and indeed all forum members-- and wishing you all a much better 2021 than your 2020 has been ( even if you happen to be one of that rare breed for whom 2020 was okay)
    On reflection, I may fit into that minority @Desi_in_London. Although I lost a work contract and didn't have a job (or government support :( ) for 9 months, I had enough savings to survive. My family hasn't suffered any major trauma during 2020 so I count my blessings. So many on this forum (and in general) have suffered in many different ways, whether Covid-related or otherwise.

    I hope that you all find solace, hope and happiness in the coming year.

    Raising, not a glass, but a cup of coffee, as no alcohol allowed for me. Same sentiments tho.

    @Biglad ... well said. While  I have had various similar things to deal with job-wise , I am very conscious of how I am still in the lucky few. (Virtual) glass raised to toast all on here.
    Kindness is always the right choice.

    I'm pleased to say that the salmon en croute went down very well, especially with a glass of fizz, so thanks @Obelixx and @Dovefromabove for your advice.
