Real summer weather
We've been enjoying a lovely spell of warm, dry summer weather and it has been great to get out walking but also great to find a bench to have a much needed rest on a hot day. We've had some great new bench views submitted during the past few weeks.

New section for the website
We are excited to announce that we have just added a new section to the viewfromabench website, called 'Garden Benches'. Great views don't always have to be distant views, and some of you may have lovely views from your own garden bench. Several people have sent us lovely views from their garden benches and so we have included the new section especially for these - see the link 'Garden Benches'. If you have a great view from your garden bench and you would like to share it with others, please submit it to the website - and we will do the rest!

New bench views added this month
We have had some lovely garden bench views submitted this month so we have updated the new section with these views. Here's the links:
The Baker family garden bench, Yeovil
Steve Johnson's special bench, Bristol
The Farley's folding garden bench, Yeovil

We have also updated the Isles of Scilly section with a new bench view from Tresco - see the bench and view here.

A 'viewfromabench' photo book
The long awaited 'view from a bench' photo book is selling well and is still available for you to order from 'blurb.com'.To preview the book and order a copy, visit the blurb bookstore here.
