Glass-House Garden Benches

Two rather oddly sized garden benches sit on the edge of the lawn either side of the Moosey glass-house. They are perfect for placing garden tools, gardening gloves, etc. on - and, of course, for a gentle rest in the shade. But...

Garden seats should provide a meaningful escape from gardening chores, though. Being so near the glass-house there are the inevitable questions - do the flowering annual seedlings in the glass-house possibly need watering? Perhaps the pots could do with a tidy-up? More cuttings? How about an early autumn sowing of lettuces?

Favourite Cat Seats

So I tend to use the seats for a frazzled, fleeting flop, rather than a purposeful rest with coffee and detective novel. But my cats don't seem to mind. These are favourite cat seats.

Isn't he just the most beautiful fluffy cat?

Both benches are singles, but super-sized, so a lone gardener muffled up in multi-winter layers can still fit. There's room for cats with annoying claws to sit alongside, instead of on the sensitive gardening thighs.

The Look Matters...

And let's face it - sometimes it's the look of a garden seat that matters, rather than the use thereof, isn't it?
