As ‘Thursday doorsters’, you will all know that Norm is stepping down from hosting Thursday doors. This week’s post is some of my favourite doors from the last year or two to thank Norm Frampton for opening my eyes and helping me to see such door beauty in the world.

Go well Norm and thanks for all the doors (especially Italy and Ruelles Vertes).
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 Norm 2.0 blog, where there are links to yet more doors in the comments section at the end.
A little rummage through my desktop archives revealed some doors I photographed on a work trip I took to Dorchester back in June last year, when life was so much less complicated. Rather than feed you a diet of street art doors every week, I thought I’d switch it up a bit with this little collection. Enjoy.
Shop front – no longer in business, Dorchester, June 2019A rather tired old doorway, Dorchester, June 2019A once rather grand doorway, Dorchester, June 2019Corn Exchange door, Dorchester, June 2019Church door, Dorchester, June 2019Church door for very thin people, one that hasn’t been used for a while, Dorchester, June 2019
So another week swiftly passes us by, but it is important that we stop and smell the flowers every now and again, otherwise what is the point?

Doors 128 – a return to some street art and graffiti doors
As the country is once again locked down (although it somehow doesn’t feel as severe as the last time) photographing new doors continues to be something of a challenge. I long for a visit to a National Trust property or something similar, but I fer that such a trip is still a while off. In the meantime it is another dip into my archives to bring you some more graffiti doors from last year.

Doors 127 – Bristol doors with interesting surrounds
Sometimes it is not so much the door that is interesting but the brickwork, the awnings, the steps, or the whole design around an entrance that makes it stand out. This week’s selection of doors all have rather plain doors, but what surrounds them is worth a good look. Here we go:
A rather fancy entrance, Bristol, September 2020
There is something about the 15 above the door, Bristol, September 2020
Door covered in ‘slaps’ (stickers), Bristol, September 2020
Door and doorway, Orchard Street, Bristol, September 2020
Door and doorway, Orchard Street, Bristol, September 2020
Door and doorway, Orchard Street, Bristol, September 2020
That’s yer lot for another rather turbulent and unsettling week… US Election and England lockdown.
Be safe and kind wherever you are and have a great week.

Please, please, please don’t tell me it is Thursday already. I have had a pretty busy week of it so far and completely forgot about Thursday Doors, in fact I completely forgot about Thursday.
I am going to have to quickly cobble something together during my lunch break. When I say ‘going to have to’ I wouldn’t like you to think that this is something I don’t enjoy doing or that is an onerous task that I am being forced to carry out. Not at all. I love doing it, I am just fighting against time, all the time. I am rather looking forward to semi-retirement (some years off) or complete retirement (a little further).

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.

This lane is known as ‘green garages’ and is a safe skateboarding spot for young skaters, Redland, Bristol, May 2020
Not 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.

I am totally maxed out at work at the moment, so this will be short and sweet. Some more graffiti/street art doors from my archive. I am beginning to fret about what will happen when I have exhausted my archive.

This week I am attempting to write Thursday Doors on a Thursday. You wouldn’t think that it would be too difficult, I mean there is a clue in the title, but last week I goofed and posted Thursday Doors on a Friday. Time has got the better of me once again and I am resorting to my large archive of street/graffiti art photographs to see if I can find doorsy ones. Here are a few that were originally posted in 2019:
Xenz, Devon Road, Bristol, July 2018Sake One, Upfest, Bristol, July 2018Run Z, Moon Street, Bristol, January 2019Face 1st and Soap, Mina Road, Bristol, February 2019Stewy, Thursday Doors, Bedminster, Bristol, July 2016Deamze, King Square Avenue, Bristol, August 2018Coin-Op Militia, Mr Klue and DNT, Stokes Croft, Bristol, January 2017Klaas Van der Linden, Shoreditch, London, November 2018
It wont be too long before I run out of these archive shots, so I really do need to get out and find a few more doors locally. Have a great weekend wherever you are and whatever you are doing.
