I went for a walk along the North Tyneside coast today. More pictures will follow[1], but I thought I’d share this one straight away. It’s quite a common thing for people to sponsor a bench in a park, or other public place in memory of a loved one. It’s a nice thing to do, and it can be quite interesting, coming along years later and wondering who some of the people were. Every sponsored bench has a small plaque with some brief message, usually along the lines of “In memory of….”. But this one was different.
And for anyone who doesn’t get it, some reading[2] is called for. Or you could start with a sample.
[1] Just as soon as I’ve finished the ones from York on Monday and Durham on Wednesday, anyway.
