Bench couture

Reading my three month old copy of Vogue Magazine, I was excited to see a new trend. Bench fashion... not one, or two, but THREE fashion ads based around benches. Here's the Longchamp one..



But it seems even benches are vintage these days. Here's perhaps the most beautiful bench photograph I've seen, from a fashion photograph of the 1940s, if you would believe it...

Hello - love the benches! It may be an age thing but I was at a park the other day and there weren't any which made me quite cross. I found myself wishing there was a comments box to raise the issue.

I was slightly concerned I'd turned into my Grandma but your blog has made me feel much better. Thank you!

PS: The Donkey Sanctuary in Devon has more benches than you can poss imagine - all dedicated to people's pets. Weird.

Send pictures of the donkey benches straight away, Henrietta Bird. We will be proud grandmas together!

I have let us all down by not having a donkey bench picture. Their website has been disappointment too.

I am now on a mission...
