Over the front garden gate. by happypat

Over the front garden gate.

Late posting today so no need to comment as I won’t have time to comment much tonight.

This is our neighbour Janet riding her horse Molly along our lane.

Three good things:
1. Good news re stamp duty holiday for six months.. should help the housing market along!
2. Coffee with a friend.
3. More viewers.
Well spotted.

A nice shot Pat love the way you have framed the scene with the tree branches .

A very English scene and so nice to see! I'll have to google stamp duty!
July 8th, 2020  
Love this!...
And thought of you when I heard the stamp duty thing.

@sarah19 Thanks Sallie....I didn’t think it applied to us but looks like the first £500,000 are exempt so will only have to pay on the remaining amount. The bungalow we wanted to buy is now under offer so we are down in the dumps tonight! Had a promising view today by parents, their daughter is coming up at the weekend to look.

@maggiemae Yes google it easier to do that than explain! You might call it something else!

@sdutoit I heard the horses hoofs clattering along the road...she had the blacksmith yesterday.

@beryl Lots of oak trees at that end of the garden Beryl....the branches are almost meeting in the middle now!

As @maggiemae said a very English scene.. seems you get one bit of better news and then something to knock you back.. hope all works out..

How lovely to have a horse walk by your house! Would be a dream for me!

A very pretty scene! Love the way the tree and gate frame the composition. Fav!

We were hoping to take advantage of the stamp duty holiday! But I don't think we will be able to in the time scale. Nice idea to kick start the market though.
Nice to see a slice of life by your house.

@casablanca Yes it’s finding somewhere you like to buy in the timescale isn’t it....all the hassle of selling then the buying all in 6 months! Over winter too....good luck with whatever you decide to do...he might extend it! 🤞🏻

@happypat I can live in hope! Just had some disappointing news re the courses restarting for Teenager and also hubby, who was booked on a sailing course too. Seems the guidelines make it currently impossible, though everyone had high hopes for this month. Everything back on hold again! But in a year's time, hopefully this will all just be a memory and we will say "gosh, do you remember the pandemic...?"

Such a great view of Molly and Janet.

How nice to see this over your garden gate!
July 9th, 2020  
A lovely capture.

@casablanca Well that is very disappointing news ...I was really hoping your son would be able to continue his course very soon. He must be very fed up....both of them would have been looking to some fun times & getting on with your sons career choice!
It’s all rather a nightmare for some activities ...strange how they seem to choose which is not safe to participate in. Harry has been on to the guy in charge of the bowling green but still no advise there either....I think bowling has been forgotten or it’s because of the age range! As you say it will pass & we will look back & think it was just a blip! Hopefully!!
