E-mail issues

March 30, 2009

It has come to my attention in the last week that my e-mail has not all  been coming through.  There is no rhyme, nor reason to what I do or don’t receive.

If you’ve sent me an e-mail and I haven’t responded, please accept my apology and try again.  I think it’s finally sorted out.
