Momentarily open

This was part of a property that was under construction, although you’d never guess it from the picture I’ll post next. We passed this once and the gate was closed, with a workman nearby, but then on another pass I saw the open gate and beautiful entry and had our driver stop. Right after I took this the workman reappeared and shut the gate (so no chance for another try!).

A quick peek inside the gate reveals another stylish doorway. v

I suppose you would feel a bit silly going in with jeans and T shirt

it does look fancy here...assume the wooden gate to the right is temporary..
