Thatched roofs are so cool and ultra exotic.

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

Those roofs are so unlike anything we see here.

They look so neat and well kept.

The first one looks as though the roof-level has been increased at some time to allow an extra floor. Always interesting to look at cottages.

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).

I think they are supposed to keep the cottages cooler and warmer in winter

Anywhere up to 30 years
