I’m not sure how many people actually sit in these chairs this time of year.

This week the seats I have chosen all come Montgomery’s Inn in Toronto. It is a historical museum where I work every week making bread that is baked in the outdoor wood burning oven and then sold at the Farmers’ Market every Wednesday.

Pull Up a Seat and Enjoy the Art

Last week my husband and I went to an opening of a show to remember and enjoy the works of the late Canadian artist Tom Hodgson. We thoroughly enjoyed the show and appreciated the seating where one could enjoy the art in comfort.

Pull Up a Seat or Not

Sometimes seats aren’t meant to be sat on and in order to ensure that people don’t plant themselves on antique chairs, the owner put teasels on the seat. This was the case at Sir John Soane’s Museum in London.

This place is well worth a visit and if you do have mobility issues there are special chair where you can sit down.

Whatsoever is Lovely Challenge – Time with my Family

thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting Whatsoever is lovely…https://xingfumama.blog/2024/06/02/whatsoever-is-lovely-challenge-2024-week-22/

As many of you know I was away for close to a month to travelling throughout the Uk. The main reason for going was to spend time with our son and his family who live in London, England. We started our trip in Edinburgh and Dundee, Scotland because our son had to travel to the V&A Dundee for an opening of a new show. It was wonderful spending time with him and learning about the installation that he was responsible for. There was also another brand new opening and we were invited to attend this event. It was called Kimono: From Kyoto to Catwalk.

After our time in Dundee, our son took the train with us to London, where we spent the the next 16 days sightseeing and spending time with the family. Sevin is now four and attending Nursery and will be starting school in September. We loved spending time with her in the evenings and on the weekends.

Pull Up a Seat in the Cemetery

thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting Pull Up a Seat https://xingfumama.blog/2024/05/24/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2024-week-21/

Many cemeteries in the UK are places to walk, sit and enjoy the view. This one in Edinburgh was located behind the St. John’s Scottish Episcopal Church. Nestled among the tombstones are places to sit and enjoy a great cup of coffee from the cafe inside the church.
