How interesting it must have been to watch it been taken off then repaired, do you know if they recycle the old thatch as compost or is it burnt?????

Thatching a roof is SUCH an artform in itself, not to mention the sound of the straw being worked, and the feel of that wonderful roof when finished! You are truly blessed and I love watching your blog for every now and then a little glimpse of it~ XOXOXRachael Kinnisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08484492441305725235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341926661100319009.post-2329472460657655422015-05-14T01:24:35.882+01:002015-05-14T01:24:35.882+01:00So cool!
