Sad News from the Children's Bookshop

 I've just heard today that Judith Gardner, of the Children's Bookshop on the road to Clifford just outside Hay, has died.  She was 84.

I worked for Judith for several years, and her husband Bob and son Colin, and they were a pleasure to work for.  It was one of my favourite jobs in Hay (and I was able to take my dog to work with me - she had a collar tag that said "Member of Staff"!).  They were very good to me when I was going through a difficult time in my life.

Judith had been in poor health for some time, but the news still comes as a shock.

I understand that Colin, her son, intends to keep the shop open.
