Where is Rory Stewart? Or has he run away?

Thanks everyone, not stopped for a breath sorting things out. The old sympathy cards flood has begun! Off down the bank to get the funeral paid.

Went out snivelling like Thatcher and Cameron. New PM thread incoming.....

OldWillz died today of cancer. Pain free at last. I've been running about for months sorting stuff out while he was in the hospital, now he's gone. Kept it quiet because it's been cool to have something else to occupy me. Orphan now.
