Thursday doors – 12 January 2023

Doors 205 – Croatia doors (part 2)

I am leading and facilitating a workshop inWorcester today, so have prepared this Thursday doors post a little in advance. This post is the second instalment of Croatian doors from our family summer holiday last August. The photographs were taken in Zaton, where we were based, Nin, a little town nearby and Zadar, a larger and historic town on the coast. Enjoy:

There will be more to come from this trip soon, but I might be pausing from posting Thursday doors for a couple of weeks, so make the most of these. May I wish you a very happy weekend.

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.

Thursday doors – 5 January 2023

Doors 204 – Croatia doors (part 1)

Happy New Year, doorsters.

Although it feels like a distant memory now, it was only a few months ago that we had a fabulous family summer holiday in Croatia. It was our first visit to the country, and I am certain that we will return together or individually in the future.

For the first phase of our trip we were based in a small town called Zaton, situated on the coast between the Istrian Peninsula to the North West and Zadar to the south, and the doors this week are all from Zaton. Posting these photographs is filling me with nostalgia, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I have on revisiting them:

It feels good to be back on the Thursday doors rails, and I look forward to sharing my and viewing your doors in 2023.
