Our Old Wooden Gate


Now you can see why we got a new gate. It was rotting and it was hard to slide open. Sometimes it wouldn't slide. That was confusing for delivery people. There was no doorbell on it so they had to shout at us to come open it. Sometimes it wouldn't open so packages had to be delivered over the top. Once, it even fell off its runner when the postman tried to open it. The gate door fell off the frame into the garden. That was more than confusing!

Our old gate was nothing fancy, but it had a nice sound when you could slide it open. The door itself sounded nice and then Jiji bought a bell to put on it so we knew when someone entered. It took a while to get used to the bell, but then we missed it when it was gone. We miss the old gate. We miss Jiji, too.
