One of the abiding memories of our recent travails was George wheeling down barrels of water each day to keep the cafe open.  Nobody could have worked harder than the Holmans in such difficult circumstances, and this latest body blow is very cruel I really hope Teignbridge pulls out all the stops to get the cafe re-built.  I'm sure we will all get behind Debbie and Don.
