Following on from the appeal for help to clean our War Memorial in the June edition of the magazine, I do hope that you have seen the wonderful work that has been done by Shane Williamson, a friend of Doug & Rev. Liz Richardson. Given the time that it had taken me to clean about 10 sq.cm, it is nothing short of miraculous. However, like many other things, if you know what you are doing there is all the difference in the world, and Shawn is not only a stonemason but also a sculptor. He has cleaned both the Memorial itself, and the flagstones so the whole edifice is in a much better state than it has been for a long time. Our grateful thanks to him.
