True. Just I'm bitter to have dragged all the fleece back out. :)
Mmmm....rain smell is even better than cut grass smell.
I have it all wrong - I'm tryng to remember the place with thatched roofs, not sod roofs. Do you have thatched roofs in Cornwall?
(If you type roofs three times it starts to sound wrong. Rooves maybe?)
My dad's a thatcher y'know.
And yes, Cornwall has loads of thatched roofs.
yes, loads of thatch, most of it protected by law (ie can't replace it with a decent roof)
"...can't replace it with a decent roof"
Why do you say that? Why would you not want a thatched roof?
I don't like most of the creatures that live in thatched rooves
spiders, bugs, creepy-crawlies, mice, etc
and thacth is /very/ heavy, I would worry about all that weight held mostly by dry cob and gravity
And the fire risk, and the maintence costs etc etc
Mice will live in any roof, thatch or no thatch.
