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.
Has it a motor so you don’t need someone to push you? For that price I would hope so
Mine is not so fancy

I would imagine so. As you say for that price it ought to have.
It might fit on our patio but not sure I could swing my legs, so not sure I’ll bother. Nice thought xx
No point if you can’t swing.
Exactly xx
I love a good porch swing, but this one is a little out of my price range. 😳
I wouldn’t pay five grand for it, but it is undeniably lovely.
Best wishes, Pete. x
I think a swing seat would be a lovely addition to the garden, but I doubt that Santa can afford to bring me that one!
So you have an affinity for swings.
Pretty
How lovely. I would be tempted to sit and have a little swing.
I never even thought of that!
