You'd need to take the cushions up each time or else put them in something to keep the moisture out.

In that case, he'll have to find a nearby rock to sit on!

I would bring a carafe of coffee up there to enjoy while I set up my camera to take pot shots of birds and such. I hope they will ask you to house sit more often.

Over here you find benches in unusual places, normally with a plaque attached telling why it is there. My favourite was in a park and the plaque said it was in a memory of a man who hated the park and everyone in it!

@JudyEv Waiting for public transportation would be so much better if the benches at bus stops rocked.

@Chellezhere Haha - maybe but then you'd get someone who rocked too much or someone who didn't want to rock at all.

A swinging park bench

. It looks so good with that artistic tree carving at the back

. And interesting to notice the mechanism that makes it swing. So nice of the husband to get this as a Thank you gift

It's a really lovely bench but we might need to take cushions when we go up there.

@JudyEv That's what even I thought of

. That surface doesn't look suitable for long sitting hours. Cushions would make it more comfortable.

That is quite an interesting share. The owner showed a great gesture. This bench can also serve as a place for de-stressing where one can just watch the surroundings and be at calm and peace.

I have no idea what metal it is. Maybe cast iron or whatever metal they make park benches out of.

@JudyEv I remember how those were made, the sister of my paternal grandmother had one. I liked when we visited her, she had a beautiful home.

It blends in to the background. Even in the photo it's not that easy to make-out.

It's tucked away in the bush but you still have a view out over the property.

@JudyEv It sounds like a fun bench. Itr sounds like a relaxing bench too and sounds like a good idea to not only sit and swing on it but to read on it too.
