Doors of WordPress V93

Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another week of doors. I have returned after a two week hiatus and feeling good for the break. I have been exceptionally busy with work but also I have found a new obsession, commencing my family tree on ancestry.com. I will have to write a blog post about that but for now I will showcase some doors from my trip to England last month.

We visited an amazing place called Wimpole Estate in Cambridgeshire and not for the first time. We had previously visited in late 2023 when we took my niece and nephew to a light installation show. However, this time we visited to appreciate the grounds and scenery during the day and with some lovely warm weather.

Managed by the National Trust, Wimpole Estate includes a grand mansion, extensive gardens, a working farm and parkland. The estate dates back many centuries, with its development influenced by various owners who made significant changes to both the house and the landscape.

It’s a very popular destination for tourists, nature lovers, and history enthusiasts, offering walks, seasonal events, and educational activities. It is also used for filming and cultural events due to its scenic beauty and historical significance. However, for me, I just couldn’t help but appreciate the venue for all the fantastic doors it had to showcase. As always, let me know if you have a favourite one this week.

I absolutely love the door on the church from picture number 9 but I really love the simplicity of door number 1. Those doors that are split in two halves are really cool and always remind me of old country and western movies. I think the tractor also adds to the shot.

Thank you all for having a look and I hope you’re all having a great September thus far.

FOTD – Common Hollyhock

Hi everyone and a happy Friday to you all. It’s been a while since I have posted a flower of the day but looking through my photo albums, I discovered that I have a copious amount of flowers to show case.

Today’s flower is the common hollyhock. I found this nestled against a wall when visiting my sister last year in Cambridgeshire. I loved the colour and the fact that it was sitting on its own. Simple yet effective. It is a stalk-flowering plant known for its height and beautiful flowers. Have you ever seen one of these?

I am also thinking of Cee and hoping that she returns to full health soon. She is always inspiring us to post flowers and for that I am grateful ☺️.

Doors of WordPress V38

Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another week of wonderful doors. Two weeks ago I flew over to England to visit my sister who lives just outside London in a small town in Cambridgeshire and of course I was able to spot a few lovely doors.

I only managed to picture five doors but I know there are hundreds more. I look forward to seeing more in the future and exploring doors from other parts of the UK. Please let me know if you have a favourite door this week. Not all the doors are clear to see but I love the design and architecture of the whole buildings, however, if you zoom in, you should be able to make out the doors 😉.
