    Glad you enjoyed your visit to Newcastle – and that the spring weather we had here over the weekend gave you a chance to enjoy our great beaches (even if you didn’t get to go for a swim!). Maybe next year I’ll get to the show & meet you…

    My favourite show is the Sydney craft one, didn’t make it this year and went to the Canberra one. I was very disappointed.
