Unto our gentle senses.
23 February 2013 (508)

Stratford-upon-Avon view map

It tried to snow; but failed.
I got barked at by a beagle;
drooled on by a daft dalmatian;
but found that someone had finally replaced
my favourite bench, by Stannals Bridge.
(It's been missing for quite some time.)

I sat down;
took a breather;
but not for very long.
It was just a bit
too cold.

A new bench to contemplate an old bridge. All lines lead to the vanishing point! V

A fine account of your walk. Excellent old bridge, and a fine new bench. An inviting scene. V

Interesting story to go with your day. Glad you got to rest for a spell, despite the cold.

What a fabulous old bridge so full of character!

The photo does convey a cool day. Love the design of the bench.

A very modern looking rustic bench...if you know what I mean :-)

Indeed it hath a pleasant seat, we had lots of snow and an invasion of scouts setting up camp.

Interesting scene. New bench, old bridge and a glimpse of the race-course. V.

Great picture with the new seat and the old bridge. v

An old railway line by the look of it. Great for walking but would be even better with a steam hauled train on!

looks brand new!

I'm sure the air is sweet there and appeals to your senses:)

a fine view down the trail...makes me long for a brisk walk without ice underfoot! that bench will soon weather and lose its brash newness. it is snowing here! V

Yeah - it's trying hard to snow here too... too cold for sitting around outside!

A very rustic looking bench. The warmer weather is on its way, so you can try it out soon !
