  I am so touched and encouraged by your kind comments yesterday I think I'll take aim for ten years! These Golden Gates are at Benmore Botanic Gardens where we managed a short walk today between heavy showers and cold gusts of wind. They were exhibited at the Paris exhibition of 1878. It must have been a magical experience to drive through the forest and the wild landscape in a horse and carriage and arrive via this entrance to Benmore House.

The golden gates in the wild wood! They do have a fairy tale feeling though I suppose the giant trees around them wouldn't have been quite so giant then. So pleased to hear you have set yourself a new goal of ten years.

I think it may have been more native forest though the arboretum may have been started and as you say, immature. Very fairy tale like though.

Glad you are going for gold! And can I offer up a challenge? There is a 106 year old blogger in Sweden apparently... could you keep going long enough to break her record please??!

The initials are so elaborate that I cannot make them out. Can you?
