The Men’s Shed installed another seat that has been restored for Clive Evans in memory of his two dogs that frequently explored interesting smells in the field beyond St Leonard's Church.
Trevor Green with his Land Rover and trailer loaded the seat and transported it to the top of the hill behind Oakley Hall.
It was windy with rain at times, digging the holes was not easy as the ground was really hard, so Ken and Trevor went and got some more tools to make the digging the holes easier.
The owner, Clive Evans, arrived at the site as we were digging the holes and took lots of pictures,
When the seat was installed Clive produced a bottle of Champagne and we all had a drink, with Clive giving thanks to the Men’s Shed for restoring his memorial seat.
A few hardy walkers came by and said that they were pleased the seat was restored as it was greatly missed by the village.
