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.
A nice place to sit and rest for a while and enjoy the lovely weather.
It was a beautiful day on that occasion.
I spent my lunch looking for benches in town – here are a few

Meeting me there, it’s north Cornwall.
I know, I just don’t have a handle on where she travels from. Us northerners, you know! xx
You can’t get much further south than here, except for Lands End 😘
