Roberts closing down

Re:

It states on the website that he's taking a sabbatical and will be re-opening in new premises.
 
Re:

It is sad news but we all need a break sometimes...hopefully he'll start building again as I (selfishly) would like to get the two stems that he promised to make me last year :)

I'm looking forward to my sabbatical in about 20 years time :?
