This little gate with it's charming arch of roses leads into the garden of the last house in the row. The owner of the garden has cleverly trained a beautifully scented climbing rose over the arch. If you look closely you can also just see the flowers of a honeysuckle peeping out from the sides of the arch. The combination of these two scents was just heavenly. If you are wondering what the little box to the left of the gate is, well, so am I! It's not a bird nesting box so it must be there for newspapers or bottles of milk. It was empty when I visited, so it will have to remain a mystery. In Britain you can have bottles of milk delivered to your door every morning by your local milkman. At the end of each week the milkman calls for payment. Everybody used to have milk delivered in this way, but nowadays many people just buy their milk from the supermarket with their other shopping and this service is slowly dying out. |
