Honiton, Devon

Two thatched grade II* cottages C17 or earlier. Old thatch c. 4' thick. Replacement thatch roof set on old walls with new ridge to allow original timbers to be left in situ. Cat skeleton found, probably apotropaic.

#ThrowbackThursday to when the cottage roof had its thatch replaced in November 2018. It was very exciting to watch!

Autumn has come to #Wexford in #Ireland!

I wonder will the coming winter be as windy and as wet as last winter.

Wet doesn't really bother #thatch.... but wind does.
