Benchman is my alter ego. I like nothing more than watching the world go by. I live in Wales and in my opinion I live amongst some of the best scenery in the world. Even the same views constantly change with the weather and the seasons. bway Steve I enjoy all things creative especially music and art, including photography and the use of Photoshop. With this in mind, Benchman was born. As bwaySteve said, ‘If you have a bench, you have the universe.’ It’s a very apt quote. I can take Benchman anywhere I want in my imagination. I take most of the photographs myself, usually of views that appeal to me and I think will fit in with Benchman’s view. Ideas I have to admit though, some of the ideas end up being completely different to how they started out. It’s all part of the fun. I hope you can find enjoyment, perhaps even inspiration in some of the work I have done with Benchman. Thank you for taking the time to read. Enjoy and may your day be as peaceful as Benchmans.

However, this past month has been more than just a tad challenging, particularly on the WordPress front or more to… Read More »Challenged

No French Mustard!

Pas De Moutarde Française as they say in France. There’s an official shortage of French mustard in the shops. There are a couple of reasons as to why my favourite part of the condiment shelf is empty in the local Co-Op store. The first is that a drought in Canada has caused the shortage followed… Read More »No French Mustard!

Happy New Year 2024

It’s been a strange year, well, for me it has although I’m not complaining, honestly. Now it’s almost time to welcome a new year, 2024 and also the time when lots of folks make resolutions. I don’t though, it’s not for me, to make promises to myself to lose weight, take up a new hobby… Read More »Happy New Year 2024
