Part journal; part almanac – the story of family life in a Wiltshire cottage through the seasons.
In 1994 a country girl who’d been working in London had an epiphany in a bookshop in Muswell Hill. City living was not for her. That girl was me. Later the same year I moved with my East End husband to a Wiltshire village. Three children followed in quick succession and this blog began as a way of documenting our family’s adventures and keeping me in touch myself, my roots and the things bringing me contentment when the rest of life was busy and demanding.
As a child I spent hours climbing on and swinging on country gates whilst generations of my family shared news, swapped recipes and exchanged gardening tips so countrygate seemed a most apt name for this blog.
Over the years our children grew into adults and our family life has evolved but essentially, life on the plot remains simple and seasonal.

I’d love to hear from you.
