The bench

Mrs IttH's father was a very very well regarded eye surgeon. Sadly he died very early, just a couple of years into his retirement, the year after we met.
One of his retirement gifts was a lovely garden bench with a plaque on it from his colleagues at the Royal Eye Hospital.  That bench became a gift to us in our first home. It lasted many years but eventually rotted. I move the plaque to it's replacement when we moved into this house. Today I moved it to it's third bench which I hope will last as long again.
Missy approves of the new bench. 

In extras - today I started sending out the paperback, much easier as not signed.
I can't begin to tell you all how chuffed I am to see my book appearing in people's blips!
