Change in Shop hours for part of August

Shop hours in August :- from 9^th to 20th:

Almost certainly the hours will be reduced from 9^th August resuming normal hours on Tuesday 23^rd August. Probably the days will remain the same, but hours will possibly be 10-3. I suggest looking at my blog for updates in this regard. I would hate people to travel and find the shop closed.
