Thatcher

I pass this cottage on the way to work and have been watching progress on the re-thatching of the roof. It's not quite finished yet but today I managed to catch the thatcher at work.

A frost this morning and some fog. It was quite magical in places with the fog not reaching ground but hanging in the branches of trees and then blue sky above. Unfortunately all in inconvenient places to stop.

Great to see this craftsman at work, so interesting. A real chocolate box cottage.

[Judith Johnson]

A lovely craft. I wonder if they will leave a little thatched bird or some other symbol.

Nice to see the thatcher at work - I wonder if there will be trade mark sculptures on top. Isnt it just so frustrating to be driving along past a perfect picture and be unable to stop!

I thought at first this was your house being built

Thatching in the middle of winter!!! Is that a good idea.
Great photo by the way

Beautiful capture and the thatcher is very artistic. We don't see thatched roofs here in Ontario Canada, it's awesome to see your photo. Following.
