A rustic opening


One of the charms of old gardens is the aged walls, gates, buildings, fences and other fixtures that are frequently found giving structure to the planting. Judging by its time-worn condition it will be many decades, or perhaps even a century or two, since this doorway-cum-gate was erected as a way through the enclosing wall. It seems to be still in use, together with the new sign, welcoming visitors to the garden and the house beyond.
