The number 9

Thank you to Skeena for the mono monday themes this month.
It is the 9 year anniversary today of when Mono Monday started, which is just amazing.
Not finding anything of note to do with "9" I decided to trawl back to my first MM entry, which was here - MM117, so I’ve been following the challenge for more than 7 years which surprised me. 
So by my calculations, 468 - 117 = 351 MM’s, of which I should reckon I’ve done 90%
So today I thought I would recreate my first mono Monday.
The bench is now round the back of the garden and in it’s place is a gazebo, but the stone figures are still by the house, just looking weathered!
