  • A house in Chipping Camden                                                                                     Photo by Chris Duffy


    Doesn’t that just look like a house straight out of a story book?  One of the brochures on our trip to England had told us if we wanted to see thatched roofs we should go to Chipping Camden, so of course we went there.  We drove around and around and didn’t see a single thatched roof.  Then three days later we had to drive through Chipping Camden on our way to somewhere else and we stumbled onto a neighborhood that was almost all thatched roofed houses.  Poor Mike; he was having to stop the car every block or so for me to snap another picture, but I thought they were all so charming.  Looks like this one might have been a B&B because it had this nice little parking lot.

  •   That does look charming.   The wonderful thing about thatched roofs are that if they leak, you pretty much just grab some more stuff and pile it on top.    (well, not quite, but sort of anyway)   The ones I grew up around weren’t quite so sturdily constructed of bricks, but were mud walls with thatched roofs.  Great picture!!  Some day I’ll get over to that neck of the woods.

  •  :jealous: maybe I should look into that passport I don’t have… just in case. :)

  • Beautiful! I love all your photos of places I’ve never been. Thanks for sharing! :sunny:

  • I think England is a place I’d like to visit. At least your photos make it appealing. Mike

  • Wow.Just looking at pictures you snap makes me long to move about the world.I like this picture of a thatched roof house very much,though.Honestly speaking,the pictures you snapped and drew usually prompt me to feel as though i’m in another place,far far away from reality…in fantasy, perhaps.
