Alan Lee 'Illustrated Cottage' for Sale - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

What fantastic links, Mith! Thank you. I've had quite a time exploring both, and was very pleased to find drawings that clarified what exactly goes into a thatched roof. It does seem like a lot of work to put one together, but it is suprisingly long lasting.

I do think that the holiday home idea would be a good option for the 'Illustrated Cottage' if the guests there were responsible people. And it is strange that I assumed that it must be close to Lee's home. It seemed the sort of thing that might have been done on the spur of the moment, and at the whim of artistic guests.
