Wooden Seated Arch
My wooden seated arch is a great place to sit both for me and the cats. On a sunny morning I can enter the garden to find up to five cats sitting on the seat basking in the early morning sun.
The seat backs onto the orchard so it is a great place to sit and listen to all the wildlife going about their business. Butterflies galore can be seen from the seat as we have positioned the arch between two apple trees.
Many birds can be seen and heard from this lovely garden feature - particularly the blue tits, robin, blackbirds and magpies! The guinea fowl and Hatty the hen can also be seen or heard flapping their wings, squawking or pecking their way around the garden or orchard.
When I take a seat for a solitary moment it is not long before I realise that I am not alone. This is fine as I enjoy sharing my garden with all the wildlife.
My clever Dad made this seat and I think it is fabulous - thanks Dad.
Today is a beautiful sunny day so I am going to have my dinner outside on my lovely wooden seated arch………
……..aaaah! Lunch was lovely out in the fresh air with the guinea fowl calling in the distance and the butterflies fluttering past. What an idyllic Summer’s day.

What a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the sounds of summer. Thanks for sharing with us.
I can almost envision being there myself.

Wow, Sara, you have a talented Dad! How lovely to sit between the apple trees and relax. There is always something interesting in a garden whatever the time of year.
