This month Jude at Travel Words is giving us a free hand with our seating arrangements. Please hop over to her place at Bench Series #50 to take part in the challenge and to sample other bloggers’ seats of fancy. My entry, I confess, is rather off-beam bench-wise, but it summons a sense of its place in my garden scheme of things. The bench itself is not very exciting to look at in real life, but it is a good place to sit. From it you can look out on our bit of guerrilla gardening behind the boundary fence, at the the field and the footpath beyond, and thence up at the big sky over Wenlock Edge. Back in the summer, as I came up the path from the allotment, I would often find Graham sitting there, waiting to see what I was bringing home for supper. So yes. A good place to simply be.

That’s a very fine cobweb Tish
I have lots, Robin. Inside and out 🙂
Much to be said for the house spider – they keep the other bugs at bay 🙂
I look at a bench and think about the stories they can tell. How many people have enjoyed just being – and how many have had conversations of all sorts….For me, they are always inviting places. Thank you, Tish…have a lovely day. Janet:)
You too, Janet.
Like this effect Tish. Nice one my friend.
Cheers, Bob.
Schönes Foto liebe Grüße und einen schönen Nachmittag Gruß Gislinde
What a wonderful bench photo and story, not to mention the asters(?) and the spider web. I love your bench Tish, beautifully framed and edited. One of my favourites.
Thank you, Jude. The flowers are Michaelmas daisies.
Thought so 🙂
Amazing shot of the beautiful spider web Tish and it looks great in B&W. Love your bench story. I would sit there all day watching the web and see if there are any spiders. LOL!
Cheers, Sonel. I just know you’d find the most spectacular spiders 🙂
With a huge web like that and a great spot like yours, I am sure I would Tish. 😆
I love what you’ve done with this photo: your colour edit gives it a beautiful gravitas.
Thank you, Meg 🙂
Lovely shot. It has the feel of a woodcut about it. Nice!
That’s an interesting comment, Su. Now you mention it, I have a passion for woodcuts. I hadn’t quite seen the edit in those terms.
Fantastic image, Tish. The B&W and the spider web give it a Halloween feel. 🙂
which rather shows how behind I am on the festive organisation front 🙂
This is a fun one! 🙂 And now I can picture you, among the cobwebs.
Oh yes indeed, Jo. More cobwebs than a cobwebby thing at Sheinton Street.
Lovely composition Tish, and the B&W highlights those beautifully draped webs. A place to sit and ponder
