Sometimes Simple Is Best...

On Guard Benches

I love how these two benches look as if they're guarding this amazingly plump looking tree - I can't stop thinking about how it looks just like a woman getting changed into a bathing suit while family look on!

Grass Sofas...

When the novelist Jane Rusbridge posted this news story on Facebook about grass sofas sprouting up around Britain, I knew straight away we needed a nice grassy sit down planted on here too....

Lovely bench...

Possibly the most perfect one to start the new year with. A happy 2012 to you all.

ps If you can't read it, the inscription says: 'Rest And Think On Whatsoever Things Are Lovely.'

A Christmas Bench....

This blog has been a little quiet of late, but not because I'm losing my passion for benches. At all, at all. I promise to be more active next year, but in the meantime here's a Happy Christmas bench for you, dripping with jewels. I hope that 2012 is happy and fulfilling and includes lots of lovely new places for you to sit...

Benches in Taipei

Photographs sent from my friend, Anne Kelly who is out in Taiwan on an art trip at the moment. Glad to see she knows what is really important to look out for!

Make Your Own Memorial Bench

I love this story of a pensioner who decided to put up his own memorial bench early enough for him to use!

Thanks to Mary Atkinson for the heads up!

Church Bench?

Is it just me or is this a church pew? If so, it's been given a lovely new spot to sit in.
