Postcards from England: Christmas 2016 — Boots by the Door

Pretty doorway in the Cotswolds -- with boots!

Pretty doorway in the Cotswolds — with boots!

Dear Readers,

We think doors in the Cotswolds just ooze charm.  Maybe it’s because they’re shorter than ours in the States.  Maybe it’s because the hold wreaths or garlands or signs of the season. You may be looking at this one saying, “That one’s pretty ordinary.”  And maybe it is.  But this door had us grabbing the camera.  It’s the little things, right?

    It’s the simplicity that captures the imagination.
    A very Merry Christmas and best wishes for a Happy New Year to you both.

      You’ve nailed it — the simple things are so charming. But I still wish I knew what the original purpose of that little alcove was. Best wishes for happy holidays!!!

    Handsome door, and I love that wreath. Now, if only you could ask if that little alcove is really for boots or for something else. Love it. 🙂

      Judy, I was hoping you knew what that little alcove was designed for. I’m not sure what to search for to find the answer, but I’d love to know!

    You’re right about the doors, but I’d say that all of the Cotswold’s houses ooze charm. It’s an absolutely fantastic area.
    Have a great weekend,

      Pit, you are so right. We found every little village to be charming — and I really would love to stay for a month or so, especially if we felt more comfortable about driving there! Best wishes for happy holidays!
