Jude’s bench theme for September is metal. When I first saw it, I thought it would be easy. Even when I posted a metal bench with unusual detail in July I didn’t think that September would be difficult – wrong! I’ve had my eyes open everywhere I’ve been for a month, looked through millions of my photos and was about to give up. Then yesterday I found this one, tucked in a dull corner, I was tempted to move it but didn’t think the National Trust would appreciate that! So I tweeked it a little and now I rather like it.
Jude will be sharing her own and other peoples bench, yours too if you ‘d like to join her here.

Worth the wait. It’s very elegant, and who needs comfort when the alternative is elegance?
I can happily sit on elegance but my feet prefer comfort!
I think I’d want a cushion with that. Metal benches? Hmm, I shall keep my eyes open.
I’m with you on the cushion addition!
I come with my own built in cushion Ruth!
Haha, I’m sure yo can find some, but next month is easier if not!
I love the colour, and perfect for this month’s theme.
Thank you Joan!
Absolutely stunning, Gilly. Yes, I’d like a cushion as well, but that won’t be till after I’ve feasted my eyes for a long time and am weak-kneed with awe. ❤ ❤ ❤
You would be happy there, lots of flowers to see and smell!
Now I’m humming. How do YOU do that?
😀 ❤ ❤
I think we are all agreed that this one needs a cushion, but it sure is elegant. I had to smile at the thought of you trying to move it into a better position 😀
If you were there I’m sure you would agree and help me 🙂
i want to relax there Gilly …Ha ha!
We would have to move it into the sun Jake!
Ha ha !
You were right to not move it but I understand the urge- nice pic for the theme.
Next time maybe . . .
I love wrought iron furniture, though with some nice soft cushion. Really nice
Great find, Gilly. It feels so good when you find what you need and want to photograph.
Nice color and cuvres on the metal bench. I have to agree with all above … needs a cushion
even with my plump derriere. 😄

Mine must be plumper than yours Issy 🙂
LOLOL … I call it the middle age spread. Keep in mind I’m of Latin decent, we tend to have BIG bottoms. 😄 I don’t think I’ll compete though as I try to cover mine as best I can with slightly larger clothes. hahaha
Well, I do like it — a lot — but not for sitting. It definitely needs something more solid on the seat to work for me — even though I do have a good deal of “padding.”
Glad you left it alone… It’s perfect!
