Bench with a View

By Dean Parkin

It all started with stories about a bench in Combs; now, we’re asking residents across Suffolk to tell us about their favourite bench.

What’s the view from your favourite bench? Tell us what you can see from it, what can you hear, who you’ve sat there with and what’s the best season and time of day to sit there. Or, if you’ve got a photo of the view, please send that in.

Send us your words and images and Dean will create a special Suffolk Bench with a View poem to celebrate your favourite bench.

Please send your contributions to mdf@suffolkartlink.org.uk or you can text to 07857 002974.
