Sorting through my photos, I came across this thatched cottage which was taken the day of the scarecrow festival in Ickwell so I thought I would post it. I grew up in a thatched cottage and I must admit it was lovely - warm in the winter and cool in the summer. We didn't have central heating but lovely log fires. I have lit a fire again tonight. Last night was the first of the season
A beautiful "chocolate box " thatched cottage . You were so lucky Rosie to have lived in a thatched cottage as a child -- sounds wonderful ! and so much prettier to look at than many of today's houses !
