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 
Ah, great view!
Yes, up above the house you get good views over the estate.
A lovely spot for a stop-and-sit Jude! I’m sure you’ll be seeing lots of benches in the near term!!
What a great place to have a bench – bet lots of people like to sit there and admire the view for a while.
You might struggle to get there, but the views are great. Happy Monday, Jude xx

Beautiful on a warm sunny day!
It was warm in the sun, but there was a very cold wind blowing that day, in fact for several days.
