Welcome to Thursday Doors! This is a weekly challenge for people who love doors and architecture to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos, drawings, or other images or stories from around the world. If you’d like to join us, simply create your own Thursday Doors post each (or any) week and then share a link to your post in the comments below, anytime between 12:01 am Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time). If you like, you can add our badge to your post.
You can join in Thursday Doors here: https://nofacilities.com/2023/03/23/some-fun-leftovers/
Cee’s prompt for this week is Things people drive and seeing as most things people drive have doors, I am combining the two prompts this week. You can join in Cee’s challenge here: https://ceenphotography.com/2023/03/21/cffc-things-people-drive/
Airplanes at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, UK
Ox Wagons at the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria, South Africa
Lastly, Sir Chocolate drives a car, made entirely from cake and sweets. His rocket ship is built from biscuits and powered by bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar mixed with milk.

Lovely doors and oh! I love Sir Chocolate’s car and Rocket 🚀 good enough to eat.
Is that York Museum England or South Africa?
Have a good weekend Robbie 💜

Hi Willow, York is wonderful. We visited the viking village and the Roman bath house. We also went to Haworth and visited the Bronte Museum which was amazing.

Hi Robbie – I liked looking at these museum photos. Cars have come a long way and these airplanes still look pretty dashing. The ox carts remind me of the conestoga wagons in America. And of course, always fun to see your confectionary creations! 🙂

We eat them, mostly. Sometimes I donate them to children’s homes or old age homes, but those would usually be the gingerbread creations that last longer. I also sometimes raffle my cakes to raise money for charities.

I love this post, Robbie. I love the doors and that you combined our two challenges. We will be combining again next week with Things people live in. I also like this because I’ve been to the War Museum in Duxford and I have such fond memories of that visit. I think I like Sir Chocolates car the best. I hope you’re having a great weekend.

That coach is so lovely (and Gothic), Robbie, and it’s interesting to see the ox wagon that was probably more typical of what ordinary people used (my guess). And of course, your creations are adorable and very “sweet!”

You have cats with a sweet tooth. That’s pretty funny! One of our friends squirts whipped cream in her cats’ mouths at night as a treat. Moji is way too fat anyway without encouraging her to eat sweets! You have such a broad assortment of transportation that covers a span of years. Very fun post, Robbie!
