Continuing with my village we are now in September.
Strangely enough there is a definate "nip" in the air.......
G is for.....GAZETTE!
Each day the Evening Gazette is delivered to our village.
Around 12 noon a little white van pulls up to the postbox and leaves the gazette under the stones on the wall belonging to Tickhill House.
G is also for Gates.
I never tire of the view from our drive.
I think it would be an interesting project to photograph these gates on the 1st of every month and see the changing landscape.
September leaves come tunbling down, harvest fields a cloth of gold.
The Moors a purple carpet spreads, Autumn Beauty to behold.

Hi Denise,
I really enjoyed my scroll here. I love that idea of photographing that same gate the first of every month...
Funny goose to peck at your window...
Village life in England must be very special. All those gates...
You only lack Bill!!
Jo your gander looks like quite a character. And your rural pics are always so beautiful! I love browsing them
Again a nice walk in your surroundings. I love the English country side. Thanks for showing this.
Gate with cows was definetely my favorite among these, even though I also got good ideas for future rounds of ABC Wednesday.
G-reat post, loved it...saz x
Love the way you lets us see the beautiful country side that you live within and around.
It's a
Good
idea to take photos of gates in different seasons !(It reminds of me Monet's paintings !)
Have a nice wednesday !
Miss Yves
I am impressed. You have so many strikingly beautiful photos. I especially like the horses.
I had to look high and low in a hurry to get the G thing and then I am not sure if it is legal to call it a G if I name it a G.
I only got one Grumpy Alien posted for "G." He is at Thunder Maker
Fantastic post! You came up with so many things that begin with G, and wonderful photo's too. Happy ABC Wednesday. My post is up on my Gumbo YaYa blog.
Love all your G's! Couldn't figure out the first one for a minute...thought perhaps a mailbox was something different in England...then I saw the gazette!
Lots of "G"'s there, Denise!
And each of them a good one on it's own! Cheers, Klaus
Hi Denise, you're my first to visit today and I love your post. It's GREAT! I enjoyed seeing all the gates, your goose Jo, the graveyard, and the Gazette placed under the rocks. I sure wish my paperboy would remember to push my paper through the mail slot because if he doesn't it blows all over the neighbourhood in the wind! I think you'll like my G today, too! Have a wonderful day. Hugz...
Every picture tells a story, Denise! They are all wonderful; I do hope you do a study of your gate. I would never tire of it,either!
I'm glad Jo is safe!
That would be an interesting project to keep a photographic record of one spot through a year. Hmm.
Great posting for G, I love the photos and have a wonderful Wednesday ABC.
I enjoyed this post so much, Denise. Oh that peckish goose, cows, the sheep on your header. . .I could go on and on!
Thanks again for hosting this fun way to spend the middle of the week.
Great Gs. I love how the landscape changes in one particular spot too.
I missed last week - glad to have got this week's up!
Denise, yet again you've done us proud with a brilliant selection of G photographs. Thank you. You live in a great looking part of the world
First, let me say how much I enjoy your monthly poems. Thank you.
I enjoyed your "G" series. Jo is a beautiful goose. I particularly like the photo in which he is grooming himself.
The gates are wonderful, and I think your idea of photographing one each month is super. You could make a calendar from the photos.
I'm playing ABC for the first time this week. My "G" post is up.
This virtual tour of your village each wednesday is a joy. A veritable feast of g's today. Your comprehensive post are very musch appreciated. Just love'em.
I too think posting gates in different seasons -- or months is a really good idea. A couple of months ago I decided to do a series of ATC's (miniature pictures) on doorways. I've found quite a few but only finished four or five. I like the concept of gates and doors because of the thought of what's behind them.
Is your goose friendly? The only ones I knew would take a bite out of you if they could. I also read somewhere that farmers use them like guard dogs! I ewould definitely like them if they were friendly.
lovely! Happy Wednesday!
So now I know the source (and identity) of your avatar!
This is such an appealing post! I love all your gates.
lovely set of Gs!
G is for Ganpati Bappa Morya! To find out what it means click here
This is so funny. Benji our neighbor's goose is raising his third brood of ducklings and when he wants to eat, he taps on my window as he doesn't want to walk all the way home. That is so funny...
Love your geese and gates.Have a happy ABC:)
Beautiful story and corresponding photos.
Looking forward to hear if it is printed in the Gazzette
we havent had any sweet september showers yet, although i wish we did.
that project about photogrpahing those gates every month is a good one
I never thought of Gates for letter G and I have gate pictures
But my G post is up
If I had a goose, it would be sat at the table at christmas, not in the oven, another good G subject, we have lots of Canada Geese flying around the house this time of year.
We should have a Geese instead of Goats - we might have had a Garden at Wren Cottage. Ducks instead of Chickens also.
Your setting looks quite idyllic.
Great post Denise! I adore that photo of Jo! I'm sure you could have done a complete post on him alone.
I've often intended to do regular photos at certain places, but (as usual) never managed to do more than start. Maybe I'll get on with it one day.
Thank you so much for the lovely tour of England! I need to get a good camera, so I can post a tour of my lovely town in Pennsylvania, United States!
thanks again.......i'll certainly be back!
Love the gates.
that mailbox is so cool. :) and i love the look on the goose's face. :)
Another wonderful selection. Really liked the Gazette under the stones on the beautiful wall. And the close-up of peckish Jo is real cute. :)
Mine's up too.. I am wandering amongst Giants..
GREAT 'G' you made Denise!
its funny that quith differnt bloggers react on your blog ( when I see mine) Wonderfull Gates...
I am always wondering: "is it Goose or Geese" 1 is past tense I know. Thanks to you (or Gerald) the sign-in on MR linky worked well.
The concert of Madonna was great/fantastic/ wonderfull and impressive! but bad part was: that the concert supposted to start at 20.30 pm (after a frontprogramm OF 1 HOUR) ... it started at 22.00 PM!! And finished at 23.15 PM... but was worth the waiting.. I made many photo's , too much for 1 blogpost, maybe I make a slide show... Do you like Madonna too?
Happy ABC Wednesday

I agree that the gate would be a nice seasonal series.
You live in a lovely place.
I always fel like I've taken a trip to England when I see your alphabet posts! Thanks for the help with my link - much appreciated.
Thanks for another interesting local tour; some lovely shots here.
Great collection of G's. I know it is supposed to be the gate but I thought the horses were beautiful. Guess part of that toddler who used to shout with delight "Horsey, Daddy" every time we drove by horses still comes out sometimes.
Beautiful poem!
I love every one of your photos, especially the one with the gorgious horses!!!
Love that photo of the goose! Gates--a great choice for "G" and a metaphor for all kinds of things.
I always enjoy seeing the countryside around your home, Denise.
great series of pictures.
I love the goose. He is very cute.
Yes Denise please photograph your view every month.
That will be very interesting to see the monthly changes.
Love the goose photos.
Bear((( )))
I love the mood of your village that these pictures give.
The unusual goose poses are especially fun.
Enjoy your lovely place.
I envy you your gates! Just beautiful.
Nancy
This place looks very, very special. Lovely photos
I love the Geese photos, they are so cute!
Ah, lovely pastoral scenes here Denise, you live in a most beautiful part of the world. And that goose of yours - awwwwwww, too cute to be true!
Hi, Denise
this place is a dream, big G with the gates.
Thanks for sharing.
hugs, Denise
Hi, Denise! I'm so afraid of geese!!! I used to be bite by them when I was a kid and tried (and succedded!) to climb the neighbours empty house' trees to eat their yummy jaboticabas. They like guard dogs!
Loved the idea of photographing this gate every month to shw the changes!
You live in a very sweet and beautiful place, it's a delight to get to know it a bit more every week. :o)
Kisses from Nydia.
I've enjoyed the stroll around the village this week, visiting the various gates and of course Jo.
I have been trying to post my entry for over an hour now and cannot get blogger to work, I will try again tomorrow or I will be here all night!
such great G's!
I enjoy the little tour of your little village.
Thanks for hosting ABC Wednesday.
The gates are fantastic! I like your idea of a pic of them in changing seasons.
:-)
Hello!
I really enjoyed seeing your article!
and actually I didn't know " GAZETTE" of course I know " News paper " though.
thanks for the tip:)
Can I ask you something?
Do you usually use GAZETTE instead of newspaper?
The variety in your ABC Wednesday photos is super. I especially like the horses and the cows and the gates and the geese--you get the picture--I like the whole post!
Love it all Mrs. N., geese and gates galore, but that daily paper to me is indispensable! Thanks for all you do with ABC Wednesday!
ah, that was lovely..I loved all the gates...oh, and I forgot to put my New York Geese in my post...oh well!
Thanks for visiting ..
Annie
The postbox and the stone wall, and that beautiful large tree I see in the background all make me wish I lived in your neighborhood instead the middle of a sprawling metropolis!
The geese and the gates are fun to look at too....
I really like the idea of the gates each month - excellent idea!
Jo is adorable - I wouldn't be able to resist him anything!
Doesn't the paper get wet if its raining? lol!
I just bought my mum a calander of a tree, with a picture taken each month of the year. It is a beautiful study of how the seasons change around a gorgeous old tree. Doing it with the gate is a wonderful idea, as is the view.
I know a cemetary where they let the sheep in to keep the grass down.
