It still looks inviting to sit on.
I’d offer you to give it a try, Wayne. Good luck.
It is a day of thanksgiving today here in the states.
I wanted to stop by to say I am so thankful for having you as a blogger buddy, and I daresay as a friend.
Thank you, Michael. I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving Day. I would have loved to have watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade with you from this bench.
Perhaps the bench has seen its better days, but it has that rustic charm. Plus, I can imagine the stories it could tell if it could talk. Interesting photo, Hugh.
Yes, I agree about the charm and what that bench could tell us if it could talk, Eugi. I expect we’d be able to make a book up of all the conversations held on it.
Great photo, Hugh. If I were to participate in this photo challenge with this topic, I’d take photos of the hundreds of dilapidated cars along the streets of Argentina. Along the highways, people have fun burning them out. It’s quite a scene!
That sounds like a scene from a dystopian movie, Lisebet. I wonder why they burn them out rather than scraping them or trying to at least sell them to get some extra cash.
Usually, this happens with cars that broke down along highways and were left there. Youths roam around and – for fun – they set these cars on fire. So, we see a lot of “car skeletons” along the main roads.
I’m guessing annual roadside and breakdown recovery is expensive for most Argentinians, Liesbet. And that’s why they abandoned their cars. I wonder how they get themselves recovered? I guess phone a member of the family or a friend. Those abandoned cars are probably not worth much, so they leave them there.
What a charming bench! I think I would have avoided sitting on it too. Certainly wouldn’t have wanted to be the straw that broke that camel’s back. :)
Likewise, I also avoided sitting on it due to all the ‘all breakages must be paid for in full’ signs around the garden centre in was in.
Interesting indeed, well-used, well-loved, and I am sure many people had lots and lots of conversations on that bench.

Yes, if only that bench could tell us what conversations it has heard. It would make an interesting read.
there area few of these interesting benches around here 💜
Do you sit on any of them? The one in my photo looked rather unsafe, so I did not attempt to sit on it.
All of them Hugh at one point r another apart from the sofa with the leaves on!
Your right yours does look as if it’s hanging in there by a thread 💜💜💜
By a piece of string given the string laying across the top, Willow. It may have had a sign saying ‘unsafe’, but it may have blown away as it was outside the main building of the garden centre.
I’m sure many a person has sat on that bench with a secret or two to spill. Intriguing.
I’m sure you’re right, Esther. If only that bench could talk.
Could that bench be described as ‘shabby chic’, Hugh?!
Yes, I think it can, June. Thank goodness nobody painted it, though.
I have to say as old as that bench looks it probably holds fond memories for someone.
I bet it can tell more stories than all of us put together. Just think of the gems it could tell us. I’d be listening all day.
Heehee, thanks, Hugh! I may have sat on this bench a time or two. The ones at the stores could be a surprise and probably good you didn’t try it out!
It could be quite strong still, Hugh! It has that rustic charm, What is funny about this bench, is Hans build one quite similar to it out of scrap wood, when we still lived in Sacramento. Our dogs Gideon and Aero loved to sit on it. Great shot and a great conversation starter.
What a great photo, Terri. I love how Hans makes all these lovely items out of driftwood. Gideon and Aero certainly seem at home sitting there. Were humans also allowed to sit on the bench?
Yes, the bench in my photo certainly has charm. It was in a garden centre, and there were signs saying, ‘All breakables must be paid for in full,’ so I did not attempt to sit on it for fear of breaking it. And knowing my luck, if I had sat on it and broken it, somebody would have recorded the whole thing.
love this 💜
Those sweet pups are no doubt enjoying a glorious bench in Heaven now, Willow! 🤎🐾
I think I’d give it a shake first to see how stable it is. I think it has country chic charm!
Good idea. It did not look very safe to me. But it had a charm to it.
Interesting click!
Scary too when one thinks of relaxing here!
Yes, one does wonder just how safe that bench is. Maybe it’s just there for show, but I’d have thought it would have a sign saying so.
Ah, yes, the mystery bench—neither safe nor labelled, but definitely there to test your trust in public furniture. It’s the perfect place for a dramatic game of ‘sit if you dare.’ 👀
Charm yes, that’s the word I was searching for…
Wow, I think this bench’s better days were many decades gone Hugh. But actually, it does have a nice quality to it. If it is yours I hope you’re not thinking of throwing it out.
It doesn’t belong to me, Paul. I found it in a garden centre. At first, I thought the two bits of string along the top held it together, but I guess they once had a price ticket or a warning sign not to sit on it. It does have a certain charm, though.
