A local farm, Little Busveal, Saint Day.

Little Busveal Farm, with thatched roof (common at one time - much rarer now). I went for a walk past this farm today but couldn't take a shot for technical reasons (my phone-camera is playing up.) But I thought I'd taken a shot some years back and found it.
Best enlarged for a closer view of this thatch style.

Are you in Cornwall at present Andy?

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Nick Weall ^club

Yes, Nick. Family health issues. I can't drive thanks to Brexit, and my mobile phone, aka my camera, decided that the day of my flight here was the ideal time to pop its clogs! I have been here 10 days already and haven't seen the coast once or even been for a local inland walk. Far too much else to do!

A beautiful and well kept farm- I guess the insurance premiums aren't cheap with a thatched roof;-)

No but they aren't usually prohibitive (please see my reply to Jens above!).

Very frustrating - I've waited 4 years to return 'home' and I can't take any photos nor drive to the coast!

At least you made it there Andy...............there was a time not so long ago when that might have not been possible :-))

Les toits de chaumes sont de beaux toits ! on en voit de moins en moins ..... c'est normal car les prix des assurances sont beaucoup plus importants !

It looks idyllic Andy! Thatches are not so rare around here, with many new village houses having a thatched roof.

I know that very well, Rosa! Please see my reply to Jens above!

Jenny McIntyre ^club

Wonderful cottage, and as Rosalyn says above - thatches are quite common here in North Devon. In fact at one time, thatching used to be classed as a dying trade, but there are lots of coursework at colleges which teach thatching - so it's not dying anymore.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Jenny McIntyre ^club

Pleased it's alive and well. I used to know a thatcher once - He worked in Wiltshire mainly.
Thank you, Jenny! Please see my reply to Jens above!

Hi Andy
I like this picture very much!
I must say the style of thatch looks very different to what I see around me. Maybe a Cornish tradition?
Best Wishes, and stay safe!!
