Last week I was unable to bring myself to write a blog post. I think it was one of the hardest weeks of my life. It's was with great sadness that I had to announce the passing of Adrian Richard Wilkinson, age 68, who died peacefully on July 23rd 2019.
Many of you will have met Adrian and be aware of his passion for Old Bolsover Yard and giving something back to the town. I have taken some comfort during the last week in the kind words that have come my way, in particular those who spoke of Adrian and the true Gentleman that he was. Despite his cancer diagnosis Adrian has spent the last few years working hard to bring Old Bolsover Yard back to life and this will become his legacy.
As his family, Damion and I will continue the work at Old Bolsover Yard, supporting other small businesses like ourselves to thrive. I do hope that you will all continue to be supportive over the coming weeks and months.

Cake Bonanza
 | Carrying on with true British determination, the weekend saw the arrival of Old Bolsover Yard's Cake Bonanza - part of the Bolsover Food and Drink Festival 2019. A huge thank you to all the traders who joined us despite the very wet weather. We had a great weekend with lots of cake and other goodies for sale. Our next craft fair will be Saturday 30th November - just in time for Christmas shopping as part of the Bolsover Lantern Parade. |
