I'll certainly visit you and look forward to incorporating your
product in my home-baking. How good to hear from you!
I might not be in touch for a little while as my wife and I are
working actively towards moving from the Blue Mountains to the Macedon
Ranges near Melbourne (two of our children are now permanently based
in Melbourne) and I'd like them to benefit from my improved home-
baking.....
cheers and thanks
