Or is it two benches? Either way, it/they could do with a lick of paint to keep up with the cheerful shop front behind. And that, Jude, is me done with benches I think. Unless I spot anything inter…| From Pyrenees to Pennines
Back when I lived in Leeds, its waterfront was emphatically not A Thing. It was certainly not called The Waterfront, being a disregarded area of town rotting behind the station, with long-closed mi…| From Pyrenees to Pennines
Way back in 2015 – yes that really is ten years ago – I decided to post photos of the numerous benches sitting in my folders. It seemed that I was not alone and suddenly it turned into …| TRAVEL WORDS
