The bench and tree are now in situ. The plaque for the bench is ordered. Fiona I hope you don;t mind but we used your words: In memory of Joan Lee for her immense kindness, skill and support to new parents and children

Dear all Robert Owen wanted the bench to be delivered after christmas, it is arriving on Friday https://www.gardenbenches.com/westminster-flat-arm-teak-bench-150cm. I have also bought a rowan tree which symbolises courage, wisdom and protection, has tasty berries for the birds and flowers that bees like, it is also very hardy. Robert Own will provide a plaque for the bench, any suggestions for what it could say are very welcom best wishes Zelee

Thank you all for the wonderful donations. I am just discussing with Robert Owen which bench to select, and with a gardener to see if we can plant a tree in the garden bed by the building. I had very late notification of Joan's funeral, and was able to attend. They read out some of the letters from the mum's group, which were clearly special to her family. Her ashes were scattered at her home in Scotland yesterday. If anyone has any ideas for what we could put on the plaque they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again
