So many interesting variations on seating, though I think the one in the Czech Republic might be a little difficult to sit on:) The large orange containers reminded me of JJ's garden in Portland; I loved those! My favorites are any looking out upon a lovely garden.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-53602818680674340502014-10-14T08:18:30.693+01:002014-10-14T08:18:30.693+01:00That sounds grand Janet.

Though I do love the hefty stone benches and matching table up on the cliffs near here, placed as part of the GeoPark installation. Fabulous view out across the bay, as far as the Isle of Man on a clear day, and an excellent place to watch the huge container ships making their way to and from Liverpool.Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-28486203188640896142014-10-13T21:15:37.402+01:002014-10-13T21:15:37.402+01:00I love the one at Lacock - it's a work of art....I love the one at Lacock - it's a work of art.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with - perhaps we should have a bench day next year when everyone is feeling fed up and looking for something to blog about during the dark days of winter :) Best wishes, MichelleVPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-68675716667036613612014-10-13T10:23:13.489+01:002014-10-13T10:23:13.489+01:00Fabulous idea Michelle, and some fabulous benches ...Fabulous idea Michelle, and some fabulous benches and seating areas there!

The bench looks over the lily garden, which is planted in an old rain barrel cut in half. When I have a garden of my own, it will have at least one lovely bench. :-)Cassandra Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870780766883077181noreply@blogger.com
