Bench Life 5 - Special Edition

Been feeling really poorly today but managed to drag myself and the family down to the Bench! Took a few of the initial occupants and then sent the family down post haste to grab the bench for a family special. The original bench bunch weren't up to much so I'm glad I had my lot in tow.

Edit: don't know if it's obvious but that's my mum and dad either side of my daughter!

[Henriette Sparkes]

Hope you feel a bit better now. This is brilliant, love all your bench shots!

[Isla Wight]

Hip hip hooray for the bench and your willing accomplices. There's a lot of a bit about you know (bugs and lergies that is) - remember to eat your greens ...

[Kathleen Setier]

Thank you for the bench update. It's been almost two weeks and I was beginning to worry that you had a parting of the ways and we would, forever, not know what's happening.
