Dear readers, Having been part of this amazing community since moving to Mudgee in late 2022, I’m honoured that the baton of the Mid-Western Mail, has been passed on to me by Fiona, Naomi and Business Mudgee, with the blessing of a refresh. So, it is with great pleasure and excitment that I introduce you to the region’s brand new community magazine, Mid-Western Living. With International Women’s Day and NSW Women’s Week kickstarting March, it felt fitting to showcase some of the incredible female founded, owned and operated businesses across this region. You’ll undoubtedly see some familiar faces and discover new ones as you flick through the many pages of our “Women In The Region” feature that kicks off on page 6. Ignite your inner home-maker on page 24 with our new Shop Spotlight that shines on Church Street’s Cedar Cicada, get your wardrobe ready for a season change on page 26 with Krystie’s Boutique and prepare your skin for Autumn with Marg Ottley from Ultimate Care on page 29. Amongst the new you’ll find the familiar penmanship of winemaker Robert Black on page 33, delicious recipes from The Little Cooking School on page 37 and your commonly asked legal questions answered in Ask Sally on page 42. A huge thank you goes out to Fiona, Naomi and the MWM Team for doing such an incredible job over the past few years, and a big thank you to you for being part of this incredible journey and continuing to support locally within the mid-western region. I hope you enjoy the issue.
