I love the bits of beauty you post.
Dear bazza,
My, what a wonderful pair of doors and windows.
Unfortunately, we don't get to see many like this in my own locale of Stoke, where thay are usually boarded up with the windows broken.
Ah, such is life, eh bazza.
Very Best Wishes,
David
Austan: Now I'm blushing (but very pleased!)
David: I love the way that your comments are like little letters; so polite and kind!
No, we don't have too much of that kind of thing in Ilford either! (I am referring to Georgian Doors, not politeness)
Yours sincerely, Bazza.
The rather fabulous Sir Tom Eagerly says:
I say Bazza old boy, they're just doors. Get over yourself! Have a drink. Lie down in a darkened room. Have another drink.
Toodle pip!
Excellent! And slightly eccentric, in that you'd normally expect to see more blocks on the uprights - but I like eccentricity.
When I get bored with the color of my house, I often contemplate repaintingthe door. The question is always...blend or make a statement. Since I'm surrounded by the sepia tones of March, those two doors are urging me to go bold! The doors are enchanting , Bazza.
Sir Tom: You are a Philistine my good man! But I like you.
Philip. Glad you approve Philip. For those who have not yet discovered it Philip's blog “English Buildings” is superb!
Snee: Your approval is gratifying. Splash out for spring my dear!
Hi bazza,
Lovely doors and architecture! Maybe I am just too boring and English, but I quite like the classic black door, what does that say about me!?

Hey John, there's nothing boring about being English and Classic! It says very nice things about you.
Hey bazza,
Most impressive, indeed, a fine pair of knockers....
I've been to Kilkenny, but can't remember much about it except the beer. I do remember the Irish going in for bright colours, and not just the doors. I remember passing through a village where the houses were all colours of the rainbow.
Gary: Mmmm...Three Steps to Heaven!
Botanist: I was there once sipping Guinness in a pub that was owned by an eccentric millionaire. He had bought an old church in Wales and rebuilt it inside the pub. We were sitting in an alcove on a mezzanine floor looking at the top of the steeple!
It's a lovely town.
Those are stark, colorful doors. What mystical worlds will they lead to, today? They remind me of "Alice in Wonderland" type doors. If you get my meaning. I would like windows like that, too. Perhaps someone will be good enough to buy them for me for Christmas this year. Hint. Hint. No pressure. :)
Kezza: There's something subconsciously intriguing about closed doors. What lies behind them?
Who lives there? Alice in Wonderland?
You'll have to wait to see what Santa brings you.
