Gate Post

A few snapshots of random things I saw as I took a quick walk through the village of Grand Baie.

This quite literally is gatepost - it’s not unusual to see mail stuffed into any available tight-fitting corners on a gate if there is no postbox.

I recognise these two pieces of mail - one is a water account, and the other is an electricity account. Nobody will swipe these, who wants more accounts to pay. But I’ve seen interesting things shoved into gate spaces, such as international magazines and small items of clothing, probably ordered online.
That made me chuckle.

The gate is quite new, at least newly painted.

The gate has a good design, but that is a strange way to deliver the mail.

I like it… fun
When we lived in Cyprus if the shutters were open
we got pip pip pip piiiiiiip & it was thrown over the bushes,
unless it was a box and he’d have a coffee on the balcony.
I loved the fun of it

They were great friends of my parents… wonderful people

Your community is obviously more trustworthy than where I live. I like the verdigris metal of the gate.
