Default Thanks everyone for the good wishes

Sorry I haven't been on much lately, some of you know I've had a 'few' health problems. Things are improving a bit but I've a long way to go yet.
BW has been keeping me up to date with most things and we hope to get back to the lottie soon (weather permitting).
I very much appreciate all your thoughts and good wishes and promise I will try and get online more often this year.
YOu are the best bunch of grapes in the world. Love to you all and thanks for being there (for BW as well as me).
This is still Home on the Vine for me and I WILL be back, promise

I don't think you are alone in wanting the bright sunny days (or the bit more energy). Hopefully this will be a better year Madderbat

Happy Birthday Jane.

With all that fruit in the freezer, perhaps you could do a winemaking masterclass when you're feeling a bit more up to it
