More sad news - Athene English, of The Great English Outdoors on Castle Street, has died after a short illness. She ran the shop, full of leather goods and blankets, for over thirty years.
There will be a small, family funeral (her son Louis has made the announcement on Facebook), followed by a celebration of her life at Penpont Estate on Saturday 9th November from 2pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family have asked for donations to a charity close to Athene's heart - Action for Conservation - with a link in their announcement.
The Great English Outdoors will continue to trade for the forseeable future.
