A Bench for Carmel

Last March, an eighteen year old girl in Hay committed suicide.
I didn't mention it at the time, though I knew about it, because it was private to her family, and no business of mine.
I mention it now because there's a picture in the Hereford Times of her family and friends clustered round a new bench on the Warren. It's really rather a fine one, designed by Danny Thomas who makes chainsaw sculptures, and with one of his little trademark bears holding each end. The money to build the bench came from a fund-raising gig at the Globe, and they also gave some money to the charity MIND.
