Thatch update… week eight
We’re nearly there.
On this Easter Day, we’re entering the final stages, with the team working on the ridge, the detail that brings the whole roof together.
Blackthorpe Barn continues to take on its rich golden finish, and it’s been something special to watch this traditional craft unfold week by week.
With completion now in sight, if you’ve been thinking of visiting to see the thatchers at work, we’d recommend doing so soon.
If you’re spending part of your Easter with us, take the time to enjoy the café and explore the shop.

There was plenty happening here on the Estate with more to come in this beautiful month of April.

The other day we were “beating up” some of our young Nordmann Fir on the Christmas tree plantations. And no, we’re not getting violent; in forestry, beating up means replacing dead or missing trees with new ones.
We don’t usually like to talk about Christmas in March, but here on the Estate planning and hard work for the festive season starts early. Some of our plantations are on the sandiest soils and last year’s drought had taken its toll on some of the new plants.
Keeping our trees healthy now means there won’t be any gaps in supply when they’re ready in 5 - 6 years’ time.
