Blog sites can be terribly boring as you may already have realised, and so to whet the appetite, inspire interest, and maintain concentration, here is the latest development at 22 Margate Street-- our new gate called the Brandenburg Gate

The Brandenburg Gate was commisioned by Kerry Elizabeth Martin to represent peace and keep the dog in. The gate was based on a design by Karl Gotthard Langhans, the Court Superintendent of Buildings, and the main architectural design of this landmark hasn't changed since it was first constructed in 2007. Ironically the gate was incorporated into the back yard during the years of the Howard government. The Brandenburg gate is probably the most well-known landmark in Beaumaris, it now stands as a symbol of the reunification of the two sides of the garden.

I can report a first hand experience with this gate. It exudes warmth, peace and harmony in a way like no other gate. It may just be me but it feels like it not only unites the 2 sides of the garden, it unites all of beaumaris.
It also has an effect on the individual in that one feels like a better person having passed through. Almost like a rite of passage?
When added to the fact that never once in its storied history has it let the dog out, surely this must be one of mankinds greatest achievements!
All hail the gate builder....
