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)
My Spirit will be like a bird soaring in the sky over the sea at the Lizard
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:
It seems appropriate that benches with messages in memory of the wars were posted last week: Cee , Sylvia and Ruth have dedications to service-men and women the world over.
On a lighter note Kaz has a message from someone who is very much alive and Anabel has found the smallest departure lounge in the world!
Daily Musings found a pretty carved bench with a difference whilst newcomer Julie, and old-timer, Dawn (I mean that in the nicest way) have benches with quotes. Dawn even manages to get hers with an autumnal feel! I really need to get my memorial bench sorted!
As always there are so many delightful benches to view, I hope you will check out the other links within the comment section.

The message is on the pavillon above. Does this count? https://geriatrixfotogallerie.wordpress.com/2015/11/15/ludwig-und-emil/
There’s a message there so I would say so 🙂
A lovely spot, in sun and rain.
I like yours very much. What an unusual bench!
What a gorgeous memorial bench Jude
I’ve got marketing this week – though with a reasonable amount of taste. http://travelwithintent.com/2015/11/15/bench-thomas-chop-house-manchester/
This is a splendid bench Debbie 🙂
A great selection from your team of bench-finders, Jude. The carved fish are very different, and the military memorial benches are nice tributes. I never want to sit on the benches where I have to actually sit on the memorial though, if you get my drift.
Regards as always, Pete. x
I know what you mean.
I would agree, Pete!
Thanks for the mention! Another one pinging its way to you shortly.
I had no idea this tragedy ever occurred before I saw this bench. In that sense, a fitting memorial.
I suppose that is one good thing about benches with memorials, many more people will see them and think/wonder, even if only fleetingly, about the person. And I don’t remember that crash either.
