About susan sheldon nolen

It’s rare to catch me without coffee, a form of camera, or my beloved wire fox terriers. I love the history, the art, and it’s a massive part of my life, as I either paint, write, or get interrupted by my dogs, reminding me of the real world. I hope you enjoy your time here. It’s such a privilege to have readers.

Doors- Boston’s Little Alice Door.

Boston had some amazing doors! But this one made me do a double take! At first I thought it was a cellar door, but it leads into a flat below. I knocked on the door and really hoped someone would … Continue reading

Doors- Dover Castle

Dover Castle had so many interesting doors,  but it was this one that caught my eye for the colour. The Blue against the moss-covered stone was utterly charming and that’s saying a lot for a castle!
