Bench Challenge Anniversary

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 was an obvious choice with the benches facing ‘The Hard’ in Brightlingsea together with a buoy named Bench Head. The Bench Head Buoy was a navigational aid located in the River Blackwater estuary, off Mersea and near Brightlingsea, Essex, England. It is now on display on the waterfront in Brightlingsea.

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 have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  5. A great viewpoint for watching the activity on the water and I have a vague memory of being there during some special community event with people and boats everywhere. (But it was over 20 years ago, so very vague now!)
