In Pembrokeshire in south-west Wales, I had the pleasure of learning from Alan Jones, a Welsh master thatcher specialising in traditional techniques. He was involved in thatching and framing a small cottage a few miles from the cliffs of the Irish Sea.
After restoring the framework, we rebuilt the thatched roof using the local roofing method from Pembrokeshire: a double-layered cover made from combed wheat straw.
