Richard Close has a busy self catering holiday enterprise that keeps him occupied. Think he is happier working for himself. There was a chance a few years ago that he was going to Lanark before Archie Hamilton came available.

 

[Greythundercloudys]

A good man lost to the job if thats the case. Lanark probably made the wright call with archie he has change there sheep sales in a big way compared to afew years ago. Maybe not everyones Cup of tea but in can sell sheep in big numbers and fast.

He’s also been in most store sales buying for people who he obviously dealt with when in the box.
