Thursday Doors 30/3/23 &CFFC: Things people live in

As a step away from my immediate doors here is a compilation post of homes with the strongest appeal, captured in the last ten years in Italy and Slovenia, my roaming grounds. Unsurprisingly, most of them are guarded by green doors. I used to do them often, such compilations, but not in a while. LetContinue reading “Thursday Doors 30/3/23 &CFFC: Things people live in”

Thursday Doors 23/3/23: Capalbio Scalo primary school 1.

When I returned from my summer vacation in Slovenia last September, the primary school in our little town held not one but three surprises. One of them concerns a certain door that used to make me mad. A convenient shortcut to the train station, which passes through the school courtyard, I have often taken inContinue reading “Thursday Doors 23/3/23: Capalbio Scalo primary school 1.”

Thursday not really Doors 16/3/23: Capalbio Scalo

Previous week I showed you our train station and once I was there, I took the long way home. It lasted an hour to reach it. I wish to show you my walk, no matter that there were not many doors to speak of. But first: Take the fibre, they said. It will be fast,Continue reading “Thursday not really Doors 16/3/23: Capalbio Scalo”

Thursday Doors 9/3/23: Capalbio train station

When I found myself standing in front of an open door of a train, a thought crossed my mind… Dan = doors + trains! Perfect! So yes, this is just behind our tiny train station. Capalbio is the name of the medieval town on the hill 15 minutes away by car, so I can imagineContinue reading “Thursday Doors 9/3/23: Capalbio train station”

Thursday Doors 2/3/23: Last of 2022 doors

With this post all my last year’s doors worth showing have been showed. Now I’ll really need to go somewhere new. I had a quick look through all my last year’s folders (there are not as many any more) and rescued the last doors that I haven’t showed yet. They are all from around hereContinue reading “Thursday Doors 2/3/23: Last of 2022 doors”

Thursday Doors 23/2/23: Ostia

Funny how one can completely forget such a pleasant day. It was the last day of last May when I saw Flavia for the last time (for now). We had lunch in her Ostia by the sea, which is practically still greater Rome, and then strolled a little first in the city where we hadContinue reading “Thursday Doors 23/2/23: Ostia”

Thursday Doors 16/2/23: Early spring in Rome

This week I give you spring sights and not as many but at least fresh doors from this weekend in Monteverde, a residential district in western Rome. This Sunday we went to Rome for lunch to celebrate a couple of family birthdays. As soon as we arrived and bestia greeted everybody (so happy to finallyContinue reading “Thursday Doors 16/2/23: Early spring in Rome”

Thursday Doors 9/2/23: Summer in Ljubljana with hidden doors

Now you’ll know what I did last summer. Instead of doors – well, some are hidden in the background – here are four clusters from four occasions when I had fun with mum in my city, Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Let’s start with that time when we went to see the documentary “2017” aboutContinue reading “Thursday Doors 9/2/23: Summer in Ljubljana with hidden doors”

Thursday Doors 2/2/23: Last of Piran doors

Last for now, that is, just for now. Make no mistake, I plan to return there this summer or even for Easter. But until I do, here is the last reminder from this summer what a beauty Piran is and how many spectacular doors and views it offers. We start with the mysterious hole inContinue reading “Thursday Doors 2/2/23: Last of Piran doors”

Thursday Doors 26/1/23: More Piran doors

I had a hunch that there must be heaps of doors left from Piran on the Slovenian coast, where my parents are and where I spent last summer. This is correct. These are all from June. I had several Thursday Doors posts from Piran this summer and yet failed to show all the doors. IfContinue reading “Thursday Doors 26/1/23: More Piran doors”
