Thatched roof cottage, England
Thatched roofs are amazingly thick. My favourites
were the ones with intricate designs cut into them. David and
Joan, a couple we met while cycling through their village one
afternoon, have a thatched roof cottage (affectionately named
Cobweb Cottage), and they had just had the thatch redone. They
told us it was very expensive to have replaced as there are not
many artisans left that still do thatched roofs. And the amount
of straw! Their entire front yard was covered to a depth of six
feet!
