It just went...

Bit of a shocker the other day. I went up to the Rye Hill Farm entrance to our place where the Sustrans cycle track comes through towards the Reservoir to find that a gate had completely disappeared. Gate and post were gone leaving a large gap where a wooden pedestrian gate used to hang. 

On enquiry it turns out that Linda had noticed this omission a month back and Shirley swears the gate was gone before that. Well I never.  No one found it remarkable enough to inform yours truly. 'Twas ever thus. 

Who and why we shall never know. Maybe some kind and handy soul is going to replace it but I doubt it. Of course the cyclists love it because now they don't have to stop and open the gate. H'mmm...
