One a bit closer to home for our hobby, Graham Cummings passed away today, former owner of Crann Tara Miniatures and generally nice bloke.  Visitors to Partizan will probably have seen some of his games there over the years.

The curse of Dad's Army strikes again.

Michael Jayston, 88, described by Sky as "Only Fools and Horses actor" despite only appearing in one episode as Raquel's dad. Only a brief mention of his title role in the film "Nicholas & Alexandra" and nothing on his role as Peter Gwyllim in the classic TV "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy".

A lot of sad news today.  Michael Jayston also appeared memorably as Henry Ireton in the film Cromwell. Ian Lavender was a local round here, who I occasionally saw in Sainsbury's.  January and February certainly are cruel months.
