    The actual thatching has begun today ... very interesting to watch I must say, and time consuming. I am learning the trade :)
    I hope to take a little video of part of the process later today, and will be taking regular pics
    Unfortunately the weather is up and down today, so we are in stop/go mode :)
    Here are a few pics just before and after the thatching begun .....
