Whilst Lorraine is taking a break, I was standing in for her by writing her column over at the Sunday Post. I was in the Outer Hebrides opening a Games and enjoying the sunshine...more later.
A good friend of mine, Neil Nicholson, the North Uist thatcher, over at www.highland-thatcher.co.uk sent me a set of photographs. They illustrate the whole thatching process from start to finish. It is an amazing thing to see.
