A beautiful memorial

I was out coaching rowing this morning at a river I'm not that familiar with. I'd normally be clattering up and down on a bike, but while I'm restricted to hopping places I had to be slightly more tactical about standing in the right place to maximise my view of what was going on on the water.

And conveniently, I found an ideally located bench. It was a beautiful morning, just the right amount of chill in the air, clear and quiet.

And while I was sitting there in the quiet, waiting for my rowers to round the bend so I could see them, I noticed the memorial plaque on the bench. 

An incredibly touching idea, to commemorate the miles walked together with a much loved dog
