It is with a very heavy heart that I post this. Vasken, who many of you have met at various bake-offs and shows, departed this life on Wednesday. He had been suffreing from a very agressive form of brain tumour. He made as much use as he could of the months of grace left to him following surgery including ugrading his hi-fi and buying new cables! What a star he was.
The world is a darker place for the passing of this true gentleman who was not only brilliant but also kind and generous to a fault .
