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.
what a lovely spot to just sit even if it is for catching your breath – there is something so appealing about a bench so I’m glad you revised this
It overlooks the maze and pool so a nice spot to sit and observe.
A very simple one but perfect to sit and catch your breath and enjoy the view.
I literally had just taken a photo of this bench when I read about your bench anniversary post! Perfect timing.
What a great spot to rest, very photogenic.
