Picnic bench, with an interesting design of the legs. Seems to be from the same designer as one of the benches I saw later www.ipernity.com/doc/312383/52068466/in/album/1287942

One of several mosaic features tucked away in part of the sunken garden. This one is a representation of the typical heraldic shield ... I don't know if it is a recognised device or coat of arms. Sadly, most of them have lost at least a few of the pieces from which they have been made. The smaller flowers growing here are calendula - marigolds - that seem to be at least partially self-seeded.

Interesting design for this bench which seats four people. Surprisingly comfortable ! Possibly by the same designer as the picnic bench I saw earlier. www.ipernity.com/doc/312383/52068492/in/album/1287942

this picnic table top is painted in the same "come chat to me" colours as the "sit & chat" bench seen earlier. Also, the nearer side has an accessible section.

Saw this brightly coloured bench in the distance as I came down into this section of the sunken garden. it is, apparently, a place to sit if you want someone to talk with you [see next image - close-up of the plaque & there's an accessible picnic table with a similar table top paint job]

Memorial bench in the "sunken garden" on the promenade at Douglas. A very warm & sheltered spot to eat an ice-cream.
