Beautiful setting. Perfect timing for us At the last minute this morning, I just had to go once more to Dunkeld and the cathedral, my piece of heaven on earth. Lo and behold we had a beautiful sunny day, and we were able to sit on a bench on the riverbank of The River Tay. It was a perfect place to contemplate and be grateful.

I'm having one of those days today. It's raining so I'm mostly sitting on my sofa, contemplating fiber and yarn, exploring ideas that are just starting to germinate.

That *is* an excellent bench but the one on the point over to your right from there is even better IMHO.

I knew you'd know where this was!

Down time. That mysterious recharger of the spirit. My husband has a childhood friend who taught English at Smith College and when two of our kids went to Smith we discovered a bench there dedicated to the memory of his old friend.

It looks out over the lake and is a prime location for relaxed contemplation. One of this world’s perfect spots.

I love the idea of your husband being able to spend time with his childhood friend whenever he needs a visit - THAT is a good bench indeed.
