Thatching

This house in our village is having some repairs to its thatch. I think it's the thatching equivalent of a 'shampoo and set' rather than a 'cut, colour and style' (not that I would know about these things; what little I have left just gets sheared off every now and then) as they only seem to be repairing the crown of the roof rather than than re-thatching the whole thing. Even so, I'm glad I'm not the one paying the bill.
