Later this week is the 10th anniversary of the death of my friend Chris. Each year, around this time, a sadness comes over me.... So powerful was the shock of hearing the news that day and so overwhelming was the sense of loss that followed, that it has imprinted itself on my body clock/calender. It'll pass the day after the anniversary, strangely, but for now it all feels very raw....Ten years on.

Jules suggested I go for a walk to clear my head and I ended up here at this bench......I saw a picture like this on FB the other day with the comment 'who would you like to sit and have chat with'..... Well I'd like to sit and have ten minutes with Chris if I could.
