Gateway to Heaven

Sent from my iPad:

Spotted this gate to churchyard in Deddington, Oxfordshire. Having been brought up in red sandstone Glasgow and now living in the frosty granite of North-east Scotland, how I love the warm hues of Cotswold stone. The English countryside looked particularly lovely this afternoon reminding me of the late John Betjeman,

'Up the ash tree climbs the ivy,
Up the ivy climbs the sun,
With a twenty-thousand pattering,
Has a valley breeze begun,
Feathery ash, neglected elder,
Shift the shade and make it run - '
