Kyneton - Happy to Chat Bench
This is a lovely idea. Sit at the 'Happy to Chat' bench if you don't mind someone stopping to say hello!
This discussion bench idea was initially conceived by Allison Owen Jones, the initiator of the 'happy to chat' benches campaign in Cardiff, Wales. While visiting a park, Allison noticed a man who looked sad and lonely, but had no idea how to approach him without being awkward. At that point, she realized how difficult it is nowadays to initiate a conversation with a stranger, so she decided to take matters into her own hands. Soon, she created signs that promote and facilitate human interaction, and installed them on multiple park benches.
