A Little Pause . . .

Deep breaths everyone, we can do this . . .

Firstly I want to say an absolutely massive thank you to everyone who placed orders via this site and for all your lovely words about the Rhubarb & Hare store.  Even amidst all the craziness that is our current world your support was overwhelming and you will never know how much I appreciated it.

Secondly I just wanted to say that from today I am pausing the retail element of the site - so you can still browse, read my blogs, etc but I am going to stop shipping.  It is such an unprecedented time but the message to stay home is clear and that is what I intend to do.  But rest assured as soon as this pause in all our lives is over, the store will be back up and running with new and gorgeous items to tempt and delight you.

In the meantime I do hope you and all your loved ones keep safe and well.  Like many of you, my head is simply struggling to keep up with all the latest advice and news whilst at the same time juggling work and childcare and trying to maintain some positivity and give myself some action points to make me feel better. If I think too much about the 360 degree impact this will have on all our lives I find myself floundering which isn’t good for anyone. For me, when it all feels too much, I have to take myself out for a walk in the fields behind our village. No one in sight - just me, the fresh air, the sound of birds singing and the smell of something sweet and blossomy in the air. Balance restored - for the meantime anyway.  I do hope you have the chance to embrace some fresh air in safety wherever you are. Keep smelling that blossom and listen to those birds singing. Look after yourselves. Xx
