Just to let you know we will be closed tomorrow for Simon's Funeral. We are open today, and will be back open Wednesday. Please see our earlier posts for further details about the funeral.

BBC CWR Radio is also dedicating a segment to him this morning at 11:40. Just a prewarning they are likely to splice in clips of his interviews with them in the past.
