Thursday doors – 17 March 2022
Doors 177 – Doors for Ukraine
Sweet and simple this week. I am short of time again, so I thought I’d recycle some blue and yellow doors to show my support for the proud and wonderful people of Ukraine. There is little else I can do. A small gesture.
Light blue door and steps, Lyme Regis, Dorset, August 2021
Bright yellow door with crazy awning, Redland, Bristol, December 2020
Front door in blue, Montpelier, Bristol, May 2020
222 Yellow door and kids go Kart, Redland, Bristol, December 2020
Just a door somewhere in Bristol, March 2019
Rather bright yellow door, River Avon cycle path, Bristol, June 2019

So that’s about it for this week, I hope that these doors chime for you and help us all to reflect on the terrible suffering that is happening in Eastern Europe right now.

Doors 169 – Looe doors, Cornwall – Part 3
A quick one for you this week. The concluding part of my doors from Looe in Cornwall. You will notice that several of the doors have little brick walls in front of them. Looe is prone to flooding during high spring tides when they coincide with storm surges and low pressure. To prevent the water entering homes, walls and flood gates are placed in front of front doors. It is the owners of these homes that will need to be especially tuned in to climate change and the impacts of it.
So, here are the doors:
Well, that just about wraps things up for another week. Have a fantastic weekend, wherever you are.

Doors 168 – Looe doors, Cornwall – Part 2
Continuing with my second set of doors from a recent fishing trip to Looe in Cornwall.
My first impressions of Looe, formed a few years ago at the height of grockle (tourist) season, were not entirely good. Very crowded and if I am honest it all felt a bit naff. However, this October, my views were turned upside down, and I felt some affection for the place. The absence of hoards of holidaymakers meant that you could actually appreciate the town, it’s streets and buildings… and doors. So here are some more doors for you to enjoy:
One more week of these Cornish doors and then… I’m not too sure what, probably some archive doors from Bristol.
Today is Remembrance Day, so I dedicate this post to the fallen. I will not forget.

Doors 167 – Looe doors (see what I did there?), Cornwall – Part 1
Good morning doorsters. This week, I am returning to Cornwall for some doors I photographed during a sea fishing pilgrimage I make with a great friend every year. We spent a day fishing on the ‘banjo’ pier in the seaside town of Looe, and of course I couldn’t resist the opportunity to take a few door snaps while we were there. No fish were killed in the making of this blog post, all were returned to the sea carefully.
So here are the doors, and one or two fishing pictures to get you in the mood:
So that’s it for another week. More from this series next week, all being well. Have a great weekend.

Thursday doors – 21 October 2021
Doors 165 – Penzance, Cornwall
Continuing with my doors of Cornwall from a short family holiday in August, I bring you this series of wonderful doors in Penzance.
My father lived in Penzance after he retired until his death in April 2018, and it was probably the happiest period of his life. He was a colourful man whose career in stage management, pub management and show business went down very well with the locals. He was an adopted son of Penzance and known to many in the town. This visit was a pilgrimage to the place he loved so much. I used the opportunity to photograph a few doors too.
Penzance was once a prosperous town that found itself at the end of Isenbard Kingdom Brunel’s Great Western Railway, and is known to many from the Gilbert and Sullivan light opera, The Pirates of Penzance (or The Pirates of Men’s Pants as we used to call it at school). Now it is a bit of an eclectic place, with prosperity and poverty side by side. It is a honeypot for eccentrics, hippies, collectors of junk, drunks and addicts who seem to be attracted by its remoteness, quirkiness and mild climate. I think my dad made it into at least two of those categories.
I rather like this collection, I hope you do too…
More doors from Cornwall to come, but I think that next week I will try to switch it up a little bit with something else. That’s it for this week, may I wish you all a fun and relaxing weekend ahead.
