I had been hoping to post some squeaky, fresh new doors this week, and although I have taken the photographs, I haven’t been able to download them yet. I can be pretty confident that next week I will be able to switch it up a bit. Until then, you’ll have to make do with these archive street/graffiti art doors from earlier this year.

So that’s it for another week.
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. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s Thursday Doors post.
Having been a COVID household for the past two weeks (mercifully all is well and we are no longer self-isolating), door opportunities have been limited which is why I am recycling some old doors from previous street art posts. On a more optimistic note, I am taking a mini-break imminently and should be collecting a few new doors from somewhere other than Bristol.
Here we go with some doors first published in December 2020 and January 2021:
Soap, M32 cycle path, Bristol, December 2020Hanski, M32 cycle path, Bristol, January 2021Sepr, Brigstocke Road, Bristol, December 2020Pekoe, Ashley Road, Bristol, December 20203Dom, Sevier Street, Bristol, December 2020Alex Lucas, Cheltenham Road, Bristol, December 2020Alex Lucas, Picton Street, Bristol, January 2021
So there we have it for another week. Fingers crossed, I should have some new doors for you next week.

I have found it difficult to get out and about photographing doors recently, so this selection is another trawl through my archives of street art and graffiti art doors from last year. All of these doors were originally featured as posts on street art in October and November 2021, but are being repurposed for Thursday doors. If you recognise these from the first time round, please forgive me. Enjoy:
Slakarts, M32 Cycle path, Bristol, October 2020 Nevergiveup, Brunel Way, Bristol, October 2020 Silent Hobo, Mina Road, Bristol, October 2020 Utility box painted with a flower, Bristol, October 2020 Daz Cat, M32 roundabout, Bristol, November 2020 Sepr, Dighton Street, Bristol, November 2020 Sepr, Dighton Street, Bristol, November 2020
That’s yer lot this week I’m afraid. Maybe just maybe I’ll get out to photograph some doors before the next time we meet. Until then, have a lovely weekend.

My apologies, my life has been somewhat overtaken by a busy spell at work and unfortunately Thursday doors has had to give. I missed it completely last week and this week I have a small offering of random doors in Bristol from a little while ago that have been lurking in my doors archive folder. No explanations, no theme, just doors:
Graffiti door, Stokes Croft, Bristol, May 2021
Arched garden door, Cotham, Bristol, May 2021

Stencil door, City centre, Bristol, April 2021
Back gate door with blue sections, Montpelier, Bristol, May 2020
That’s about it for this week.

A couple of weeks ago I took a week off work and decided to go and visit my mother and her partner on the south coast for. I hadn’t seen them for over a year and it was so good to spend time with them face to face. Of course, while I was there my mother put me to good use getting me to do some odd jobs around the house that had been building up for a while.
One such job was to drive them into Chichester and help with taking watches to be mended and buy some kitchen things in Lakeland. Of course, the opportunity to photograph some lovely doors presented itself and I took leave of my duties for five minutes to photograph these beauties. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

So that’s it for another week, I hope you have a good one.

This is the second set of photographs of Blaise Hamlet, a small National Trust estate of ‘Lilliputian’ cottages in North Bristol, where posting doors is really an excuse for me to share this amazing place with you, as the doors themselves aren’t really anything too special.
I managed to visit a couple of weeks ago with the dog in tow, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This small oasis reminds us of days gone by and a less complicated time that offers a sense of peace and tranquility. Enjoy the second part of this visit:

Blaise Hamlet, Bristol, May 2021 Doorway to No 8 Blaise Hamlet, Bristol, May 2021 No 9 Blaise Hamlet, Bristol, May 2021
I hope that you have enjoyed the quick tour of these delightful cottages, and strongly recommend that if you find yourself in Bristol with 30 minutes to kill, a quick visit would be very worthwhile.
