Bench series #45

For the month of November I’m looking for a bench with either a message OR an Autumnal theme

(any kind of writing will do, it could be a message, a plaque, a dedication or even a map)

Autumn in RHS Wisley in Seven Acres

If you would like to join in with the Bench photo challenge then please take a look at my Bench Series page. No complicated rules, just a bench and a camera required 🙂

  • Create your own post and title it Bench Series: November
  • Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
  • Add the tag ‘bench series’ so everyone can find the benches easily in the WP Reader
  • Get your post in by the end of the month, as the new bench theme comes out on the first Sunday in December.

My Picks of the Week:

Some very exciting messages spotted this week – have a look at Violetsky, Anabel and Elaine for interesting inscriptions. And Dawn is looking Shady this week.
Debbie and a newcomer Junk Boat Travels have benches with a political message, who’d have thought that?
Tish as usual has a bench with a story, can’t keep a good writer down, whilst Judy has the most beautiful commemorative bench that I have seen. I’m sure they’d all love you to pop in and say hi.

As always there are so many delightful benches to view, including several newcomers,  I hope you will check out the other links within the comment section.

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  1. Thanks for the mention! I’m loving all your posts with Autumn colours. Another one pinging its way towards you shortly.

    1. This one is from a few years ago with the grandchildren (you can just spot them in the background), a favourite meeting place for us when I lived ‘down south’ 😀

      1. Oh yes, I see them! Did you see the comment on my post from the daughter of Dr Cuthbert whose bench you admired? Lovely romantic story.

  3. I have to agree that the commemorative bench with the birds is rather magnificent. But I am drawn to the ‘segregated’ bench, with its historically political message.

    1. Probably my favourite garden in England. Something to see at any time of the year and for everyone 🙂

    1. I’m guessing you don’t really get an autumn in Florida. Or winter. I would miss the seasonal changes, though I certainly wouldn’t miss the greyness…

      1. Yes, I do miss the change of seasons. I think that coming to England for Christmas will give me my fill of cold weather to last for at least another year. 🙂

        1. Haha, probably! What made you decide to settle in Florida? Your son is further north isn’t he? I can see that being north wouldn’t be appealing when you are used to the heat and humidity of Durban. I must admit going somewhere warmer and sunnier is appealing during the winter months.
