It seems to me that you have appreciated the slight silliness in my idea for the bench. <br /><br />I do like the idea of sharing and doing so not for profit but for the sheer enjoyment of it. <br /><br />The lack of cushions has made me think. Perhaps there is something else I can add that might entice more to sit. Watch this space!NickLufthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154425473446015309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988129268262316617.post-50656217448499813402014-05-13T04:04:48.327-07:002014-05-13T04:04:48.327-07:00More Benches should have URLs.More Benches should have URLs.NickLufthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154425473446015309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988129268262316617.post-90725481496500523702014-05-13T04:03:31.862-07:002014-05-13T04:03:31.862-07:00Thanks for your comments.

I am sorry I am a bit late getting back, but I am teaching in Spain and was travelling over Easter.<br /><br />My idea for the bench comes from reading an article in a sunday newspaper colour supplement many, many years ago. A photographer and a journalist staked out a bench in Brighton and interviewed all those who stopped to sit there. I was fascinated by this great idea.<br /><br />So my bench is for all those who happen by and want to sit and the blog is my quick little method to interview or find out about those who happen by. Maybe more benches should have URLs?<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by - even virtually - and I hope the bench and the blog inspires more people to "stop and stare" and share.NickLufthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154425473446015309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988129268262316617.post-56588114756073898672014-05-05T22:55:47.485-07:002014-05-05T22:55:47.485-07:00Found a reference to your blog on another post - s...Found a reference to your blog on another post - so I thought I pop over and say hello from Australia!<br /><br />Nice to put a URL on a seat!<br /><br />Cheers - Stewart M - MelbourneStewart Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622420206244603688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988129268262316617.post-53762645659724010122014-05-03T08:54:51.835-07:002014-05-03T08:54:51.835-07:00I walked by your bench today and assumed that it w...I walked by your bench today and assumed that it was in memory of someone who had passed away but reaching fifty is not death! I took a couple of photos of the bench and noticed the blogspot address on the brass plaque. I did not sit on the bench as no cushions were provided. The apparent silliness of the bench idea is attractive to me because it says something about life - not everything has to be about profit and loss. I hope the bench sits there happily for many years to come.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
