Home Sweet Home ~ No 2: Home is where you hang your hat ...
The second bench donated to me by my neighbour who was preparing to leave the neighbourhood last year. Little did she know I had a secret fetish for photographing benches and had become known as the ‘bench lady’ on another photo site!
This one is dressed up for Christmas … and will grace the December page of my Benches Calendar!!
