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 very sociable bench!
Indeed.
A nice sunny spot to rest a while.. https://retiredfromgypsylife.wordpress.com/2025/10/06/bench-challenge-anniversary-7/
What a lovely shaded setting. Here is mine https://wanderingteresa.com/lugano-in-monochrome/
That’s a lovely sit-ooterie in beautiful surroundings. It would be easy to spend time there. 🙂
