When we visited Richmond in North Yorkshire today there were times when I would have been delighted if someone had said to me. 'Please be seated.'
But no-one did, even although there were seats like this available.
This one was the first we passed on our way down from the Market Place to the River Swale.
We could even have used several along the riverside, even those that had seen better days.

| Free seating |
But we preferred to stand and look over the wall at the

| River Swale, Richmond |
Of course we got a better view of the river from up on Richmond Castle's walls.

By the time we had walked up here we were very pleased to see a vacant bench. There was no need for us to be invited to be seated.'

We know at least two who never needed to be asked that question.
