We do own a post and beam 1799 and I enjoy my hearth and beehive oven. I love the exposed timbers too. Your so fortunate to live in a community that does those get togethers. I love your old church too!!!

Such a lovely comment, thank you.
...Hello Jennifer,<br />Such a lovely comment, thank you.<br />Our cottage was thatched in 1740 but then in Victorian times they decided in a lot of villages to cover the thatch with pantiles to make them more modern. We still have our beautiful thatch but tiles over the top. You can see the thatch in many places inside the cottage were the timber frame joins the roof. One day I will climb up inside the roof & take a photo for the blog, it is such an art.<br />Have a lovely weekend.<br />Fondly MichelleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06751286443138392564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129839050019755020.post-17254250756412640082014-10-03T04:54:09.963-07:002014-10-03T04:54:09.963-07:00Thank you for sharing photos of your finished apro...Thank you for sharing photos of your finished apron, It's lovely! I'm inspired to make one now. :-) The sweet faces of your daughters are adorable, and they do look so pleased with their harvest boxes.<br />I'm so intrigued by the thatched roofs of England. They are beautiful. Living in the States, I've never actually been inside a house with a thatched roof, so it is hard for me to imagine how it really works. :-)<br />Have a great weekend!Jennifer Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552811423957687020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129839050019755020.post-79032120575567457582014-10-01T22:59:37.616-07:002014-10-01T22:59:37.616-07:00Hello Tina,

The landscape where you live is very nice. And certainly I am charmed with the apron, I have thought to make one one similar to his one, already we will see how I still have it!. An embrace for all.

It is such a perfect way to not only give thanks, but to honour to the traditional growing season, reminding me of how things didn't used to be so 'all year around' and we respected the changing of the seasons, making store for the lean months ahead. The girls did well to include their own home grown produce in their boxes. <br />I do so love your apron. Although mine are shorter, I am hardly ever without and feel a little undressed without; sometimes I have to make sure I remember to remove it before venturing into the village!
