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.
TRAVEL WORDS 
There was a bench with a very nice view in my Thursday post, Jude, but it didn’t seem appropriate to link. Hope you can get into the garden again today. Little and often!
Won’t be any gardening today, it’s teeming down! But I have plenty of library books to read.
I shall have another look at your Thursday post and see if I can spot it.
More than one bench! I only looked at the post on my phone, much more to see on the computer.
I like the design of that bench Jude
Here is the next bench in my series of First Nation street art and benches
Yes I like this style too.
A lovely bench in a tranquil spot. Beautiful.
It’s a lovely garden.
Lynette has just said was I was going to say. Ad here’s my rather less restful one today: https://margaret21.com/2025/02/23/boy-benches-pelicans/
Sounds intriguing.
😉
My kind of bench. Nice wood, and armrests at the ends. 😊
Best wishes, Pete. x
I found a couple of benches with arms for you yesterday. One is rather special.
A great spot to sit and relax. And the bench has a very graceful design – the back looks very inviting.
And I’ve remembered to join in for a change: https://travelwithintent.com/2025/02/23/have-a-game-on-a-bench/
I like the style of this one though I can’t remember if I tested the comfort of it. And thanks for joining me, I love to see what other benches bloggers have spotted.
