Where Do You Put Your Coffee On A Garden Bench? The Solution To Quality Self-Time

It’s just the beginning of week two of the holidays, and I’m already craving a five-minute break. Don’t get me wrong: I adore my sons with an almost frightening intensity… But, by God, some days …

Today was one of those “somedays.” And despite the fact that they were both playing so sweetly together and yet separate, I just felt that claustrophobic school holiday sensation.

You’ve had the sensation…

That need to breathe my own air (exacerbated by junior eating beans for dinner), that need to think an adult thought or two (such as what’s for dinner, what’s on TV tonight, or what happened in the book I was reading), that need to sit in complete silence without even hearing the sound of anyone else breathing, that feeling of being in your own space.

So, despite the rain, I concluded that the only haven of isolation still within hearing distance of any screams was my Olde Faithful Garden Bench.

I sneaked outdoors, armed with my coffee and the fantasies instilled in me by advertisements about how fantastic this coffee would truly be (trying not to trip over the cat, slam the door shut in the gusting wind, or spill the oh-so-wanted coffee).

So far, so good, you may say. You are mistaken, my buddy. Wrong!

Now comes the tricky part.

The concept of having a coffee break on a seat in the garden is usually one of those wonderful thoughts until you do it, and then, well, it’s never quite as good as your mind would show it.

And the rationale is simple…

What do you do with your coffee?

Do you put it on a bench slat and hope it doesn’t wobble?

Hold it in your palm and pray that it doesn’t grow too hot;

Put it on the ground and cross your fingers that you don’t tumble off the bench or break a rib while straining for it.

Drag a table up next to your bench, which contradicts the purpose of sitting on the bench (just me? Yes, I thought so.

Anyhows… What should one do?

The obvious option is a bench with a table built into it.

It’s coming… To read a review of a stunning bench created from reclaimed White Cedar timber logs, click the colored box below. It’s a genuine piece of art – and it’s also rather utilitarian.

I’m now going to get a cardboard box of the proper size to sit on the bench while remaining at table height, before anybody knows I’m absent… Oh my… it’s too late!!!

For the time being, bye!
