New Gate

[poliphilo]

We came back from holiday to find the workmen had been round in our absence and put in a new back gate. The new gate is black-  and taller than the old gate and I'm still not over the visual shock of it.  Everytime I catch a glimpse of it through the kitchen window it's as if I'm looking out at the void. I'm thinking it would be nice to repaint it in pastoral colours- apple green or olive drab, but then again, that would cost money.
