Thursday doors – 28 November 2024 – Exeter doors

Doors 288 – Doors from Exeter, Devon – Part V, October 2023

At the time of publishing this post, I will be in a conference in Bristol, So I had to cobble this post together in a bit of a hurry last night. There is not too much to say about this week’s selection of doors, because it forms part of a long series of doors from the City of Exeter, all photographed during a two-hour walk back in October 2023. These doors were all from the area around Exeter Cathedral. I hope you enjoy them.

You can read more about Mol’s Coffee House here, it has an interesting history. That’s about it for this week. I’m sorry, but there are still a few more doors to share from Exeter next time. I wish you a fulfilled weekend.

If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog.

Thursday doors – 26 October 2023, Todi, Italy

Doors 240 – Todi doors, Umbria, Italy (Part II)

This week I am sharing some more doors from our summer trip to Umbria. I fear that I am becoming a bit of a compulsive door collector and bore. The family have stopped waiting for me when we walk through towns together, instead I have to take pictures and then do that funny middle-aged jog kind of thing that is actually no faster than walking, to catch up with them. On the odd occasion, one of them will say – ‘hey that is a great door, why don’t you photograph it?’… but it is rare.

Todi is door heaven – like so many Italian towns and cities, and one or two of the doors in this selection rank in my top ten all-time Italian doors. I hope you enjoy these now as much as I enjoyed them back in July.
