Thatched delight!

My journey to the Rocks by Rail Museum takes me through the Rutland village of Cottesmore which is one of those quintessential English chocolate box cover villages. Over the past few weeks I have watched as one of the cottages has been rethatched and a wonderful job it is to. However there is one part which I just find, well, delightful and just shows the skill of the thatcher.

Moving in a little closer and you see this.

Wonderful!

At the Museum it was another day of track levelling and packing and you can see looking back towards the locomotive shed that the track is looking good.

Look the other way and there is still some work to do but a lot less than back in October!

If we ever finish the track there are plenty of other projects waiting their turn!
