While Dad was busy helping Julia and James in their new house, I took myself for a mooch up to the Crematorium for a chat with Mum followed by a quick wander along to Bluebell Hill Picnic Site to see my neighbour's bench, finally returned to it's rightful place after being removed for repair.
Never seen the bench in my few forays to the site so it was good to see it for the first time. The image above shows the bench looking through the walkway towards it.
It's pretty rustic and the supporting posts don't really do it justice, but it looks out onto the most amazing view across the Downs:
This is a place where Trevor and his family spent many idyllic hours and so after he suddenly passed away back in 1996 his wife had a bench put there in their favourite spot. Recent damage to the bench meant it was taken away to be restored by the crafters at Tyland Barn and eventually returned to it's usual place.
Bit of a trek from my house to the picnic site but it allowed me to clock up almost 16400 steps!
