Or is it two benches? Either way, it/they could do with a lick of paint to keep up with the cheerful shop front behind.
And that, Jude, is me done with benches I think. Unless I spot anything interesting in the remaining months of the year. My archive is now a bench-free zone – apart from the ones I’ve shown you. But it’s been fun. Thank you.
For Jude’s Bench Challenge.

I’m sure some more will come up on your bench radar Margaret. Yes this one needs a spruce up, but like the interesting looking shops, look like the sort I like to browse around.

It’s a lovely town, with lots going on, and set in the Peak District, so the surrounding landscape is pretty good too.

My vote goes to a single bench, not two, and definitely in need of a paint job!

Quite! And this is a town which is generally spick and span.

Had to laugh at the comments! It looks like two benches and the slats are metal? Maybe just need a polish. But someone should do some weeding. That would improve the area no end. I hope you come across another bench in your wanderings, but if not I thank you for being a sport and joining me this year in celebrating the ordinary and not so ordinary bench.

I may well find another bench or two. But if I don’t, I don’t want to show just any old thing just for the sake of it. You have high standards, and it’s been fun. Thank you!

The overall effect is pleasing even if some bits of it could do with tarting up a bit (and not referring to the buxom wench everyone seems obsessed with).

And yet Buxton as a whole is far from shabby. They must have missed that one.

A well worn bench is always a welcome sight. I’ve enjoy your discoveries and I have been looking for benches of my own thanks to you and Jude. Enjoy the week ahead and I do hope you were able to enjoy the last full summer weekend of the year. On to celestial autumn.

I agree with you Margaret, just a bit of paint will make it go well with the cheerful shops in front.

LOL for your bench-free zone Margaret. You saved the best for last – the shops are wonderful background for the little woebegone bench!
