Bench series #51

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

Bums on Seat – in the snow

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.

Heyjude

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. I knew you were a white Christmas kind of girl, Jude 🙂 🙂 You seem to have been getting our share of the rain down there. Sorry!

    1. It has been somewhat wet! And hailstones today between showers and a bit of sunshine. I hope it is dry tomorrow as I do have a few Christmassy things to do!
      (And yes, I love a white Christmas!)

      1. We were walking on the Headland briefly this morning- bright and blustery. Too good to waste because it’s been pretty grey though dry (overnight rain doesn’t count?). I need to get cracking again. 🙂

        1. I need to go for a walk! Been stuck inside for too long, but it’s muddy along the river. Maybe a walk to the shops?

  3. I wonder if the people who made that impression walked away with cold wet bottoms. My all-year-bench-post is ready to go and will be up on my blog later in the week. It’s been fun gathering all the road trip benches into one post for you.

    1. I’m sure they must have had, my jeans were soaked by the time I returned home after an hour or so taking photographs, not to mention frozen fingers! But it was such freaky weather – normally snow there lasted a day at most and only a very light fall.

        1. Very much doubt it. They are looking at it being the warmest Christmas!! Still 15 degrees when it should be about 5!

        3. Erm… bikini? I think not, unless I want to kill off the elderly neighbours, but yes, t-shirt weather, (or wet t-shirt weather).

  5. Raining here too! I’m not longing for snow, but there’s a bushfire not far away so I’m not longing for heat either.

    Thanks for the series – you’ve winkled out some amazing benches, yours and those of others. Enjoy your low key Christmas.

    1. I will Meg, we will have enough of the proper Christmas stuff when we visit the grandkids! Still a few benches to come… 🙂
      Enjoy your Christmas too, though I suspect you are looking forward more to February and the arrival of your grandbabies 🙂

        1. They might not appreciate being called grand’babies’ though! I am sure they are a lot of fun and will drag you up and down hill and into the surf 😉

  7. I’m glad your bench isn’t this year and I’m hoping we’ll continue to get away with it, I know I’m a bah humbug with snow!
