Thatching

We took a day out to Wootton Rivers which is a village near Marlborough and near the Savernake Forest. A large majority of the houses are thatched.



This thatcher was on his lunch break I think! However this photo shows a good example of the art of thatching.

We had lunch at a lovely pub in the village which had these four birds on the roof. Referring to my earlier photo of 'Slinking Fox' - I think most people will realise that these are not real birds - whereas some were fooled by the thatched fox!

Oh thank you for these photos of the pub, Lindsay! It brings back happy memories and we so enjoyed ourselves that weekend. I met up with my best friend who lives locally too!
