Capriglio, Piemonte
The little village of Capriglio in
Piemonte has a claim to fame that might seem obscure to the outside
world, being the birthplace of Mamma Margherita, mother of Don Bosco.
This 19th century priest dedicated his life to the welfare and education
of poor children. He was the founder of the Salesian Society who once
owned Shrigley Hall, then a college and now an hotel just a few miles
from Furness Vale.
Below the Capriglio church and the museum dedicated to Margherita and set into a retaining wall is this window and door; it's original purpose unknown.

A barn at Ringstones near Furness Vale, Derbyshire
This decrepit barn stands in the fields above our village, a familiar sight to all. One day soon it will collapse completely.
The Barn Door
We recently rented a farmhouse in Piemonte. This door was in the old barn opposite and was where the farm dog and cats lived.
