English doors – WrookieSchU

Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another week of wonderful doors.

This week I am completing my doors from Cambridgeshire, England, after showing some from St Ives last week. I have to say, I love them all, especially those doors featured in the very quaint and quirky cottages. Next week I will start to post about Northern Ireland and show some doors from there too.

As always, let me know if you have a favourite this week.

Happy Thursday everyone and welcome back to another week of wonderful doors. This week I am showcasing five doors discovered when we were in England and managed to squeeze in a wee trip to St Ives. You can see the doors below this post and as always, please let me know if you have a stand out door this week.

Now, when people (me included) hear the name St Ives, most immediately think of the famous seaside town in Cornwall, however, nestled in Cambridgeshire is another St Ives that is every bit as charming in its own understated way.

This delightful riverside market town is full of character, with beautiful historic buildings, winding streets and an abundance of architectural details that catch your eye. As someone who enjoys photographing doors, I found myself stopping time and again to admire the town’s colourful front doors, grand entrances and centuries-old building, the perfect inspiration for my Thursday Doors post.

On a side note, one of the highlights of any visit to St Ives, is taking a leisurely boat trip along the River Great Ouse. Cruising through the peaceful countryside offers a different perspective of the town, with picturesque scenery, riverside homes and plenty of opportunities to simply relax and enjoy the moment.

St Ives may not be the most famous one in England, but its quaint charm, rich history, beautiful architecture and welcoming atmosphere make it a destination that’s well worth discovering.

What does your ideal home look like?

Have you ever seen this 2006 movie, The Holiday? It is one of my absolute favourites, especially at Christmas. Iris’s English cottage (Rosehill Cottage) in the Surrey countryside is exactly what my ideal home would look like, with its stone walls, timber framework, thatched roof, warm fireplaces, and that fairytale snow covered look.

I want a home to be warm and cosy, yet spacious enough that it’s not too cramped. I would love a garden, not necessarily at the front but definitely at the back so I can have some outdoor space and a couple of pooches. Lastly it would need to have a stunning front door or at least a door with a beautiful wreath on it.

Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another week of wonderful doors. I’ve realised that my weekly doors posts are the only things that are keeping me blogging at the moment, thank goodness for doors and to Dan for having the weekly door challenge.

With work being so busy, I just haven’t been able to travel much but hopefully that will change in the coming weeks. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy to be busy at work and grateful for the opportunities here in Australia.

This week I am showcasing a few doors from Huntington in England where my sister lives. I have visited many times, with the most recent trip being last month when I visited home. I was looking back through my doors and couldn’t believe that I actually haven’t posted many doors from Huntington as yet. Surprisingly to me as the doors there are exquisite.

As always, please do let me know if you have a favourite or if one simply stands out more.

I absolutely adore number five for the quaintness of the door, the glass panels, the wreath in situ and the exterior. I love everything about this cottage, including the thatched roof, the lantern on the wall and even the dog on top of the roof, apparently in remembrance of their previous pet pooch. What are your thoughts?

Thanks all and have a great end of the week.

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 😉.
