Occasionally I check up on my fairy doors to see that they are still there and in a good state of repair.

I have found that one of the really nice things about making these fairy doors is the way the general public have interacted with the project. I have been so pleased that someone has taken the trouble to mark some of my fairy door sites with a little photo of a dog with the number "1" next to it. Thank you so much (if this is you get in touch with me via the contact page)
