Have been meaning to post a garden bench for Jude’s bench challenge…so here is one! Seen at Burrow Farm Garden, near Dalwood in Devon. I love that garden, have visited it a number of times over the last decade. This particular bench is usually free to sit on, but on this occasion the plants rather took over – definitely a garden bench!

Beautiful!
Thank you!
Oh, this is lovely and I can feel the warmth! I have just had to look up this garden. It is gorgeous! I wish I had known about it last year when I visited this region of the country. Definitely my kind of garden. And a tea-room too 😀
BTW can you add the tag ‘bench series’ so the post shows up in the Reader easily. Thanks Sue 🙂
I knew I had forgotten something….
Beautiful. I would like to have a rest there. 🙂
It is lovely, isn’t it 🙂
Sitting on that bench is really getting close to nature!
Nice one Sue.
Thanks, Pete!
So lovely and serene, Sue. Those hollyhocks do seem to have laid claim to the bench for now. 🙂
Hollyhocks, thank you…I knew I recognised the plant, but couldn’t think of the name! Glad you like this
Hope I’m right. 🙂
😀😀
This looks very inviting, Sue! 🙂 I have made a mental note of visiting this garden, should I be in Devon.
Well worth a visit, Dina!
I would love to sit on that bench. Lovely shot.
Thanks! 🙂
Yes that’s a lovely garden, I must go again this year, thanks for reminding me!
You know it?
I do yes, but it’s been several years since I last went, even though I drive along the A35 regularly!
Time to return!
A beautiful bench, but I am taken with the stacked stone wall around it. It is quite a peaceful setting.
I agree about the wall-that’s what drew me to the scene. And it is a most peaceful setting.
Glorious warmth!
Isn’t it! Hopefully a summer scene brightens up a winter day….
It did!
Excellent!
Nice choice. I like how overgrown the setting is, especially the flowers coming through the bench. Nature’s taking over!
Only for a little while…next time I visited, the bench was tidy!
Aw shoot… 😉
😀
What a pretty spot to relax.
Certainly is! And over in the distance, to your left, are the rolling hills of Devon
A part of the world I have never seen – I enjoy seeing it through the eyes of others though.
I agree – I have been to some wonderful places on virtual tours!
A very nice spot to sit awhile! 🙂
Definitely! Garden vista in front and behind, distant hills to the left….
I love the way the flowers have been left to sit on the bench with you.
😀😀
Oh I want to sit there!!! Beautiful Sue!!
Thanks, Cybele! I now need to find some benches for the monochrome ….
I love the way the plants have won, Sue 🙂
Viveka and Royal Albert Hall tomorrow? 🙂
Viveka tomorrow, I hope but the mobile number she gave me isn’t working so hope we meet as arranged….she’s off to the Albert Hall or wherever, not me, but the plan is we meet for lunch. I shall turn up to where she said to meet, and we’ll see!!
She’ll be there! Give her a hug from me 🙂 I know you’ll enjoy her company.
Great, I must remember…. And one day I must travel North and meet you!
I’ll come half way 🙂
Great idea!!
Ah, and I don’t even know how I will recognise her!!
So beautiful…looks so inviting I could sit there right now… 😉
So could I, but it would be a bit cold!

That’s a place I could sit for a good long while.
Good! 🙂
