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.

I really like thos one. Solid, nice armrests, good colour, and a decorative back too.
Best wishes, Pete. x
The arms are even wide enough to balance a cup or glass of something.
That’s a pretty one and the colour complements the surrounding flowers nicely.
It is pretty, this style would suit my garden. I really should find a bench.
thanks for bringing this back. I need to sit please:)!
Seems like a great place to have a rest in between strolls. Here is mine https://wanderingteresa.com/tuesday-streetart-a-bench-in-berlin-108/
It is a lovely garden, with a nice circular woodland walk too.
I found you another bench xx
