How fun — you can create a photo montage of all of these and more when you return — have you seen those poster prints of the doors?
Speaking of *gates*, the narrator in my poetry selection today leant upon a *coppice* gate….from Thomas Hardy’s The Darkling Thrush.
So, about the coppice? Seen any of those? I had to look it up. I was guessing it was a way of forming the gate, but learned that it’s a thicket 🙂
Bet you knew that.
Oh~! May we have a photo of your driver, m’am?
carol,
enjoying the trip with you – and wondering about scottish blood in our family (my aunt’s name is iona)
gates and doors – the excitement of the expectation
everytime i open our gate (we bought a house recently) i feel like a queen entering her castle – the gate is a wrought-iron gate embedded in a wall
enjoying the figurative meaning of gates and doors in our lives too..
enjoy!
