This week I am getting ahead of the game and preparing over the weekend (now last weekend) some regular Bristol doors from photographs taken over the past few months – just a hotch potch of doors with no theme. There are one or two interesting ones in there which I hope you enjoy.
Happy door hunting.
Blue door beyond a blue door, Montpelier, Bristol, March 2020I guess this counts as a door, Bristol, May 2020Double doors in St Andrews, Bristol, May 2020This lane is known as ‘green garages’ and is a safe skateboarding spot for young skaters, Redland, Bristol, May 2020Not too sure this was ever a door, but a pretty forboding bricked in space, Easton, Bristol, July 2020 – a little bit of graffiti (nut sax) just to spice it up a litttle.Shabby-chic side gate, Bedminster, Bristol, October 2020
So there you have it – I am able to do doors other than street art doors although I suspect that is a theme I will return to before long if I struggle with time.
Have a great weekend.
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors and you really ought to take a look at the Norm 2.0 blog – the originator of Thursday Doors where there are links to yet more doors in the comments section at the end.
Doors 123 – Yet more recycling of street/graffiti art doors
It may come as some relief to readers of this post that I am gently approaching the end of the road with my archived street art doors. I might be able to squeeze a further four or five weeks out of them but then the pressure will be on to capture some new doors.
Actually I do have a few Bristol doors up my sleeve, but just need a little bit more time to write about them.
Anyhoo, enjoy today’s offering:

Doors 120 – Some Cheltenham doors (posted a day late)
It has been a month since I last posted Thursday doors and like the idiot I am, I missed this Thursday for my comeback, so here is my offering a day (and a month) late.
I took these pictures on a trip to Cheltenham for the annual Paint Festival hosted there a couple of weekends ago. I can’t remember the last time I posted some newly photographed doors rather than the archive graffiti ones I have been posting lately, so I hope you enjoy them.
Awning in need of a minor repair, Cheltenham, September 2020Beautiful birdcage awning, Cheltenham, September 2020OK, so it’s a little out of focus, but this door was just too good to leave out, Cheltenham, September 2020An ornate wrought iron awning, Cheltenham, September 2020The steps are curved and even the red door is curved, Cheltenham, September 2020A gorgeous door somewhat eclipsed by the warning notices to the right, Cheltenham, September 2020
So there we have it, I managed to get myself back into the swing of things, albeit a day late. Expect more archive pictures next week, unless I get myself out for a walk somewhere.

I still haven’t been out much lately so there aren’t too many new doors to write home about, although these little doors in a street nearby caught my eye. The great thing about people having to stay at home is that they get creative.
These little doors on the front garden wall of a family home are unlikely to have ever happened in normal circumstances. They made me laugh.

So another week passes us by in this ‘groundhog day’ existence, but to break the mould, I am taking a few days off work next week to recharge the batteries, and you just never know I might get to photograph a few more new doors. Whatever you are up to, I wish you a great week.

Doors 117 – back to the old graffiti doors from my archives
Wow, a really busy week for me with the rest of my team all away on their hols and only me to man the fort. So a quick rummage around in my archives it will have to be this week.

Another week gone in this crazy and unsettling time. In the UK we are due to have a few decent days of sunshine which always brings about a collective improvement in mood. May I wish you all a great week ahead.

I have been struggling to photograph new doors recently, I think that escaping the tiny area I have existed in during lock down has definitely contributed to this sorry state of affairs. I hoped all this might change with a short trip to Cornwall last weekend fishing with my son, but we didn’t visit any towns or villages, just fishing marks on the south coast.
The upshot… more archive street art doors, most never seen on Thursday doors before. Enjoy…

There is no end to my busy period, I rarely seem to have time to come up for air. I am writig this when I should be tucked up in bed. To make things easier for me until I get a bit of a break I have once again plundered my archives for some more street art/graffiti doors, first published in 2018. Enjoy…

Doors 113 – yep, you guessed it, some more archive street art doors.
I’ll not bore you with excuses. I’ve not had the time to photograph or prepare any new doors for you once again. I have had just about enough time to search out some I prepared earlier… much earlier – these ones first published in 2017/18:

Once again, that’s yer lot.
I have to try and find more time for Thursday doors, but these are busy days. Have a great weekend.

It should come as a rather refreshing change that this week’s doors are not from my street art archives, but doors I photographed during lock down on my walks with the dog. I know that the street art doors are popular, and will return to them in due course.
This week’s selection of doors are mainly from the Montpelier and St Werburghs area on what were sleepy streets back in March, but have now resumed almost normal levels of traffic.
An ordinary door with an extraordinary tile surround, Montpelier, Bristol, March 2020
Fancy pants door, Montpelier, Bristol, March 2020
Great colours, a mask and a wall built into the door surround, St Werburghs, Bristol, March 2020
Former door bricked up, Montpelier, Bristol, March 2020
Garden door, St Werburghs, Bristol, March 2020
Back yard door (note the tagged wheely bin), St Werburghs, Bristol, March 2020
Tagged door (that tag again), St Werburghs, Bristol, March 2020
So a little canter around the streets of Sy Werburghs an Montpelier in Bristol, I hope you enjoyed looking at the dors as much as I enjoyed finding and photographing the. That’s it for another week, so I hope you all keep well until next time.
