Thatching is a timeless tradition that has been passed down through generations. It is the craft of covering the roof of a house, barn or shed with dry plant material such as straw, reeds or rushes in such a way that water is shed from the roof keeping the interior of the building warm and dry. It is a very old roofing method and has been used in both tropical and temperate climates. Thatch is still used in developing countries, usually with natural, local vegetation. blockquote yellow

I can honestly say that staying in a rented cottage on the banks of a river in the Cotswalds had come as a very pleasant surprise. The ad had said that the cottage would be the perfect accommodation for a small family or two couples. The two bedrooms, living area and kitchen were more than adequate for my husband, son and me. With its fully-equipped kitchen, modern air conditioner, hot and cold running water, and well-stocked linen cupboard, we couldn't have asked for anything more in a holiday house.
