The Gentleman

Yesterday I was walking along a pathway in the countryside. It was the North Downs Way, a long path that follows this hill range. So, I was holding the gate open for a man on his horse and...he tipped his hat. Like in the movies! He looked right at me, smiled and tipped his hat. My heart melted! This +60 country gentleman high up on his horse, enjoying himself, full of manners, being so polite and courteous - I love that about this country! Lovely.
