When open door of happiness closes, another opens .....

When one door of happiness closes, another opens - Helen Keller

I have got a bit of thing about doors, so decided to blog about some of the lovely doors around Barmouth. Bit nerdy I know, but a change from reading blogs about Kids and Baking (even though I am a big baking fan). Most of the photos are taken from above the harbour in the the old town, which is a must if you visit Barmouth .

This is a view of Old Barmouth (above) which is where the town started and has expanded over the years. I love it. Its great to climb up there during the busy months sit at the top and watch the hustle and bustle below. 10 years ago my husband and I decided to research Barmouths' history and we ended up writing a book called 'Discover Barmouth Today and Yesterday' .We spent many hours at the local archives hunting for old photos and talking to a lot of local people about their memories of the town. It wasn't meant as some big historical guide, more of a guide book to historical points of interest around town, a few walks and some lovely old photos. We sell the book at the shop £1.99 if any of you would fancy a read!

This (below) is a collection of doors I found on my one of my many walks around Old Barmouth.

Love these 4 doors (above)! The lower doors were most commonly used as the entrance to servants quarters. Today they are more likely to be used as storage or maybe to stick the kids or husband in (only joking)

How cute is this(above) - very Snow White cottage. Found this lovely door hiding away. I wonder if you know where it is or if you can find it on your next visit ?

This door inspires (below) me to give mine a lick of paint and even a new colour. I really like this colour - Duck egg blue maybe?

The door (below) is not in Barmouth, but is my favourite so far. Its my brothers door to his Potting Shed in East Sussex, lovely isn't it! It reminds me of a door which might of housed a character from 

Winnie the Pooh in Hundred Acre Wood . 

 Probably the best door in the world !
