126/266 [Vintage lock]

The pub, in a small country town, was built back in the mid-1800s. The lining boards are on the inside of the frame and the windows have a wonderfully quirky and unique device that allows them to be held open to catch any breeze. It’s clearly been updated over the years and we enjoyed watching the sunset over the nearby mountains as we partook of an early drink and swapped increasingly funny stories. I had to pass the old french doors leading to the bar as I made my way back to the car. My fingers drifted across the old lock. wondering about the many hands that had done the same thing before inserting the key to lock up for the night.
