Miracles of Le Marche: 4. eye-door


I felt this door was was worthy of a minor miracle. It belongs to a chicken shed, which today belongs to a kind English family who are just beginning the restoration of their newly acquired old Marche farmhouse. Perhaps the door will keep an eye on progress, and perhaps if it is hearby mentioned it might be saved and have a longer life. Clearly it has weathered unblinkingly many a hot summer and snowy winter, so perhaps now there's a chance it could move inside the house, be transformed into a cupboard door, watch over some neatly folded sheets, perhaps even have a pretty glass handle.
