They’re just so beautiful aren’t they – and yes I totally agree, no way I could keep a house and garden up like these without professional help!!!

These villages are all so charming. The thatched roofs are sculptural! I couldn’t live there unless I hired a gardener.

Yes, once those old places are gone, it is hard to rebuild from scratch again and it is never the same

Thank you so much for commenting – and of course you are completely right, we must all remember that people live in these villages and be respectful when visiting; including leaving no litter. Your comment about the dress at the window made me laugh out loud when I read it – you will never find me doing that or posing anywhere! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and I hope you can enjoy the summer without TOO many visitors to your wonderful home 🙂

I think a mix of all of them. I also think that in the new housing developments they have to build lots of new houses quickly and cheaply – and cottages are neither of those things to build. So less and less get maintained and looked after, and no new ones are built. It’s sad really and I hope we continue to protect the ones we have 🙂

I live in Exton. Thank you for shining a light on our beautiful village, though please a reminder to everyone to visit with respect and not leave litter. It’s great for people to visit Rutland and enjoy this beautiful place but we are finding huge increases in litter which I’d hugely appreciate if you could add to your post. I’m also hugely grateful you didn’t pose in a dress outside my front window; it’s always a little startling!

Do you think that is because of environmental pressures? The expense of thatching? Or the lack of people skilled at the work?
