All through 2025, Jude of Travel Words fame has invited us to give our Sunday posts over to benches. Benches that are worth sitting on for the rest and comfort they offer, or for the views they preside over. Even though I’ve been an inconsistent post-provider, it would be rude to ignore this final Sunday. And just to be contrary, I’m offering not an actual bench, but a piece of street art in Angers, France, showing a bench – in honour of this song composed for Jeanne Moreau, who sang it in the film Jules et Jim.

I hope it’s a good ‘un. We’ve ben largely disappointed with Indian restaurants in Spain, though Emily says they’re getting better.xx

We have choices. Must be the connection with Indian colonies and the bad old days! xx

I couldn’t not! I’ve not been one of your constants, but it’s made for fun Sundays anyway.

Margaret, what a lovely thought. Your bench posts have been interesting and inspiring me to find benches in my world. Until Jude‘s challenge, I walked past benches all the time, everyday. I didn’t think anything of them. I still can close my eyes and remember the bench I saw in the Netherlands, one of me, but I’ll remember that one. Happy New Year.

Benches are excellent places to sit and absorb the detail of what’s before your very eyes but so often goes unnoticed. Happy New Year to you too!
