I've been incommunicado for a while and will be again shortly I expect, but I want to thank you all for your continuing good and kind advice - even if it has taken me all day to trawl through the threads. Welcome from me to all the newbies too. I'll try to catch up with you good folks more often.

If anybody going to Mudgee in May is interested in a Winery Tour, please let me know and also if you want half day or full day. The full day ones quite often come with lunch. Thanks
