For the month of December you can choose any bench you like

No it hasn’t snowed here. Yet. In fact it is unseasonably warm as in most of the UK, wet and windy. This is a bench from my archives. From another unusual winter. And they say there is no climate change.
A wintry bench taken during the harsh winter of 2010 when I was snowed in even though I was living in Surrey at the time! Some wit had made their mark on this bench on the village green.
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: December
- 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
- This is the final month of the challenge. So dig out those bench photos that missed out on previous months. And next year I have a different challenge for you over on my flower blog. If you are interested then pop over and have a look. I hope many of you will join me there next year.
Happy Holidays Everybody 🙂
My Picks of the Week:
Jackie finds a beauty in New Mexico, whilst Aletta has a much more delicate bench. Kaz presents a Bench Bonanza to try and use up her excess bench photos, Traudel has benches on a boat, and Cee finds us a lovely colourful bench. Elaine has a few benches from New Orleans that are worth a look at and Anabel goes all the way to Bermuda. Sherri finds benches amongst the Christmas trees and finally one of my favourite bench posts of the year from Tish who shows us exactly why a bench is important.
Thanks so much, Jude, for the ‘feature’. I love your snowy bench. Although I don’t need to encourage it, as I have to do one last pre-Christmas stint at the allotment to get my rhubarb in – while it’s not RAINING. Have a very happy Christmas. I have so enjoyed your posts this year. Cheers and lots of ho, ho, ho, however it comes 🙂
YES! Enough of the rain. I can’t take my camera out in this weather! Still it should save some on the heating bill 😉 (I’ll be round next year for rhubarb crumble or rhubarb ice-cream???)
have a good one yourself, ours is very quiet these days and we don’t go in for the decorations any more, so it is very low-key.
Low-keyedness comes upon one I find. G. made our Christmas tree out of a pallet. I think I might share it 🙂
I’d love to see it – I fancy one made from driftwood, saw a couple of lovely ones last year in NZ but a bit tricky to bring back home.
Your wish may well be my command 🙂
Lovely to see some snow. I had hoped to see a little. I’m in Edinburgh at the moment and it warm here too!
So here is my bench offering – wet but warm. http://travelwithintent.com/2015/12/20/take-a-seat-south-bank-london/
Very warm here too! Nice to see the snow!

This has been such a brilliant series. Congratulations, Jude.
Thanks Anabel, the year has gone by so fast! Only one more week left and the benches will shuffle back into their folders and I will resolutely walk past without clicking that shutter if I see one (as if that’s going to happen)
Not a chance!
Love that boat bench at Forde Abbey, so unusual. Another excellent selection from your bench friends, Jude.
Regards, as always, Pete. x
Yes it is amazing what they come up with! My bet is that even you look more closely at benches now 😉
It hasn’t snowed here yet either Jude. Missing it as the wintry scene without the beauty of snow is stark and dull.
Definitely dull Colline. Dismal and dreary. Tish had a good word for it ‘dreich’!
With or without the cold, I hope you and your family have a great festive season, however/whatever you do 😀
Too warm here for snow so far and I am not complaining! Here are my benches this week!

No, I am happy with the warmth, just not so with all the rain. Makes photography impossible.
