Fortunately Ms M's table proved to be straightforward to construct, and so whilst I positioned the legs and fastened the nuts and bolts, we were able to have a good chat in the afternoon sunshine about the various challenges that Ms M is dealing with at the moment.

She was delighted when I turned over the finished article onto its legs. The only question remaining was where to put it - she'd identified the exact spot in the corner of her yard, and I left her to bring out some chairs and enjoy sitting outside in the fresh air.
