Bench updates
We have just passed the bench again and are happy to report that even more progress has been made since the pictures above were taken.
There is now a floor and the sides have been worked on too.

Re: Bench updates
It was a lovely ceremony - simple and appropriate. Thanks to everyone involved in the project. And a big thank you to Claudia for composing and performing such a touching song for the occasion. Well done everyone!
