We keep getting little glimpses of the summer to come – and then the cold and rain returns to remind us to be patient. We’ve spent a fair amount of time in the garden already this year – clearing, pruning, planting and generally pottering. We’ve even had the opportunity to have a couple of al fresco meals and cups of coffee.
There are a few favourite spots where we often pause – to just enjoy the experience of being outdoors; one is the bench outside the front door. A feature of living where we live is the amount of rain and damp weather we have to contend with – the wooden slats on our garden furniture doesn’t like it one bit.
When the time comes, we’ll be replacing them with metal garden benches. These three are among the ones that have caught my fancy. The yellow one exactly matches the colour of our doors and windows. The shade of green of the mid-priced one looks great in any garden, and the curvaceous shape looks like it would be a very comfortable seat. The antique version has weathered at least a hundred years of being outdoors, I’m sure it could withstand our Welsh climate,
