Doors 290 – A look back at some of my favourite doors from the last year
I am running late with my post today. There is not a lot to say about these doors, other than all of them were posted this year, even though a number were actually photographed last year (such is my backlog).
I hope you enjoy the selection, but most of all may I wish you a very happy Christmas and holiday period:

Norm has been encouraging people like us (Doorbies? Door fanciers? Doorists? Dooristas? – what are we called?) to use this last Door week of the year to look back and post some of our favourites from 2019 – this is a bit of a win-win for lazy/busy people like me because the hardest bit of this post is deciding what to include/exclude.
Here goes – the numbers don’t necessarily relate to my ranking

10. Door in need of a little TLC

Of course there are so many other doors I would have liked to have included and this was not an easy job. Hope you liked this selection though and I look forward to a doortastic 2020.
I’ll follow Norm’s example and take a couple of weeks off, so have a fabulous Christmas all and see you next year.
