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 
How lovely! It looks more Marrakech than Colchester.
Definitely more exotic than the usual bench.
Those tiled benches are really lovely – what an unusual idea!
Yes, very different to the usual seats in a park.
That’s very pretty but it doesn’t look very comfortable.
Did you sit on it?
I did sit on the first set, they were ok as fa as I remember.
That’s different, I like them! Beautiful blue.
Yes, nice to see a pop of colour.
This looks so pretty.

Thanks Teresa
I’m afraid I’m linking my 14th September Bench post to yours here as I’ll have to schedule it. Off to Leeds for an early Sunday morning cataract op that day!
That’s fine. Hope the op goes well.
Thanks. The right eye went well. No reason for the left eye not to follow suit I hope.
👍Thanks.
