Bench update

Hello Marc,



Firstly apologies this has taken so long. There have been problems at the warehouse with the Oak used to make the Kensington benches and they have been rejecting much of the stock they are being given as it is splitting.



I received a call today from the warehouse saying that your bench would be delivered on Wednesday to the London Depot. This means it will be installed sometime next week. I’ll let you know the exact date once this has been set with the team at the depot.



Also just to let you know that your cheque that you sent us some time ago for the additional lettering on the bench, should have now gone into the Father Thames Trust bank account. Many thanks for this.





Kind regards and I do hope you are well.



Francesca

What a fantastic lady. I met Gabriele about 10 years ago. She was a client in the hair salon where I work. She became more of a friend to us than a client. She would always have our customers in stiches with her funny stories and just her every day ways.I was shocked to find that she had passed away as she had been in on the saturday to get her hair done although not as loud and cheerful as usual. She was forever telling us about her very precious grandson whom she adored. Even if we didn't see her pass the shop we'd hear her little bell tinkle and knew it was her. She is very much missed.

R.I.P

Love Frances x
