This cottage is next door to the one I posted yesterday and I'm cheating because I took this one at the same time. We are so lucky to have quite few thatched cottages in the village where I live. This one stands end on to the road and years ago builders seemed to put more thought into their houses so that they wouldn't all look like little boxes standing in a row. I always think of the song Little Boxes when I see houses like this as they are so different from modern houses and are much more homely.
