For its final fling in December, Jude’s Bench Series is “anything goes”. Last month, we escaped the Glasgow weather for a week in Bermuda and did lots of bench-spotting so I’m piling them all in at once.

I love the top picture so much that I’m currently using it as my Twitter and Facebook avatar. It’s from the City of Hamilton, as are the two below of Fort Hamilton and the waterfront.

Outside Fort Scaur, John took a picture of me admiring the view in reasonable comfort. I snapped the one next to me to show that I’d definitely chosen the right bench.

Fort Scaur itself had a bench next to a very big gun!

This bench and cross are at Heydon Chapel, with another gorgeous view.

And, finally, Whale Bay where I loved the contrast of the emerald grass, the turquoise sea and the bench dividing the two.

There’ll be more on Bermuda in the New Year, but this is my final post of 2015. In the meantime, Season’s Greetings to you all however, whatever, and wherever you will be celebrating in the next couple of weeks. See you in 2016!

  1. Very interested to read a bit about Bermuda, Anabel as I don’t know much about it (apart from the triangle!). It looks a lovely place and you have certainly taken some gorgeous photos. Wishing you a wonderful 2016 and happy blogging! 🙂

  2. I’ve never considered visiting Bermuda. Is it mainly accessed from the U.K.? Thanks for dropping by my blog Anabel and have a lovely new year.

  9. As always the photos are gorgeous. We’ve had a mild December, but they help take the chill off. I hope you have a very happy holiday. I’m sure you’ll celebrate in style.

  17. You confused me with that first bench (SO easily done 🙂 ). What a beauty! But I thought it was in Bermuda. All became clear as I read on. Please can I have that bench with a view? That sea is just so…
    Merry Christmas! See you in 2016 if not before 🙂

  27. What a finale! You know you didn’t have to go all the way to Bermuda to find benches for me, but I am so glad you did 😉 Have to agree with you that the first one is the best, what a gorgeous statue. The benches by the turquoise water remind me a lot of Australia for some reason. Thank you Anabel for joining in with the bench photos this year, I have enjoyed them all. Have a good time off the blog and enjoy your Christmas. See you in 2016 🙂
