Way back in 2015 – yes that really is ten years ago – I decided to post photos of the numerous benches sitting in my folders. It seemed that I was not alone and suddenly it turned into the Bench Challenge where I set a particular criterion each month and people joined in posting their bench photos. It was a lot of fun and I met a lot of wonderful bloggers through it.

This year I am returning to mark the occasion by posting a bench photo every Sunday. There will not be any particular theme set this year so it’s not really much of a challenge, but if there is anyone out there who still has a bucketful of bench photos and would like to join me, then please do so by adding a link in the comments or a link to my post in yours (a pingback) and I will happily pop along to admire.
And because I am also participating in Becky’s January Squares here is another photo – square of course- featuring these benches with their geometric shapes.

I think I first met you in the middle of that! It was a great challenge. I still take pictures of benches too, but I don’t have a specific file for them so they’ll be scattered. I’ll bear it in mind next time I spot a good one though.
I remember the benches, and really enjoyed them. Great to see you return to the theme, Jude.
Best wishes, Pete. x
Hmmm. I think I might have a few. Time to archive dive.
I think of you every time I see a good bench. I’m sure I have a few in my UK photo folder.
