Bench Challenge Anniversary

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.

Enlarge this to see all the benches in this Thameside London garden.

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.

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. Mmm… I’d argue that a bench for one is just a seat, but seeing as it is Easter and it is you and I am in a good mood having had the rat infested rotting shed removed I shall allow. Don’t make a habit of it though…

      1. Of course it’s not a bench! Or even, frankly, a seat. But when I saw it, I thought of you, and Easter Sunday. So thinking of you while out and about with a friend is a compliment you can’t ignore.

        1. I am very happy that you were thinking of me 😚 on your walk and thought to share it with me. You do know that photographing benches becomes very addictive? Just warning you. 🤭

  5. That’s definitely how the other half live. Happy Easter, Jude! Have a fabulous day after all that energetic stuff yesterday xx

    1. They leave at lunch time. We might nip over to a garden this afternoon as the sun is shining. Your lot get home alright?

      1. I’m waiting for an update, but yes, they did! We were at the Floral Parade in Sao Bras this morning. Beautiful, as ever xx

        2. Actually a couple of quick showers. Don’t know where it’s all coming from! A kind Belgian lady shared her umbrella xx
