Thatched Cottages
Came across these cottages while out visiting a church the other week
Taking Part in My Little Corner of the World Our World Tuesday and Imag-in-ing, you can find all the links in the right hand column Take care everyone.
I've never seen thatched roofs. I wonder how long a well-constructed one lasts? Thanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2021/04/north-carolinas-pollen-season.html
It seems part of the charm of the UK, albeit a large part, is seeing homes with these thatched roofs. One day I hope to be able to view them in person (sigh).

Thatched roofs are so cool and ultra exotic.
ReplyDeleteI think they are supposed to keep the cottages cooler and warmer in winter
