Lutyens Bench and Courtside
Lutyens Bench
My Lutyens bench was designed by British architect Edwin Lutyens in the early 1900s when he worked with famed garden designer Gertrude Jekyll. I saw these benches often when I visited England in the early 90s. I coveted one for myself.
When I saw this bench in a garden catalog, I eagerly ordered it. My late husband and I spent many happy hours in this quiet spot, he pulled the grill out here to cook and smokers retreated here. I’ve enjoyed it tremendously. It communicates something timeless to me. I’m home here.

Courtside
Twice a week for many months, I sat on a park bench and watched my son play tennis. His movements and strokes were smooth and precise. It brought such joy to see him follow in my footsteps as I had followed in my mother’s footsteps. There was a time when three generations took to the same court to share their love of tennis and each other.
