April 18th

A Sunday afternoon walk around beautiful St. Monans and the DOORS.  Now in the United States, doors are almost always the same size.  But over here doors are purpose made to fit the opening between the stones or bricks.  It makes for a wonderful stroll through town to see all the differences.

My last blog was mostly words and few photo's.  This one is mostly photo's and few words.  Enjoy our walk with us.

I wanted to show the varitey of doors, large and tall, big and small that dot our village.                                                                                                                                                             



I had either Robb or myself stand next to the doors so you could get a better idea of how short or tall they are.


The houses have been built over the centuries and a lot of in filling between empty spaces has taken place.  I couldn't really figure out which houses are the oldest, but some have been here for a very long time.                                         

 This red door shows you a double door.  Our door is like this, there is an outside door, with mail slot and and inside door with mail slot.  The outside door is left open if you are "at home" and would like company.  If both doors are closed you are either gone, or don't want any guest.

This house above has one of the biggest doors in the village and this next picture is one of my favorites.


A house with doors for either the short or the tall.  Who could ask for more?


Our door, number 27
 Hope you enjoyed the walk.

Love to all,
Dawn
