In this tutorial we will look into how the thatched roof from my Chocolate Box Cottage is built. We will not be constructing a whole roof, but rather just look at how the aesthetic elements are constructed. How these are used to construct a roof then depends on how the house it will attached to…
So from what I understand (and you may correct me, especially if you are British 🙂 ) the term ‘Chocolate Box Cottage’ refers to a picturesque, sentimentally appealing countryside cottage. I first heard the term while me and my wife were watching the awesome BBC TV-show ‘Escape to the Country’ – a show where prospective…
Nyle added another stone to the pile and started looking around for another. – ‘I think that is probably enough’, he heard Sir Darby’s voice behind him. Nyle looked down at the pile of rocks. Maybe it didn’t need any more, but Nyle didn’t want to be done. He bent down to pick up a…

An old man was mumbling to himself while making his way through the underbrush. Although vegetation was heavy the man seemed to move through it…
The crackling sound of the campfire brought back all kinds of memories to Sir Darby. Some of them fond. Most of them not. Sir Darby would always associate campfires with war, and memories of war were seldom pleasant ones. He had learnt the hard way that one was never as safe as one felt around…
Averil guided her rowing-boat silently through the morning mist. Her fiery hair damp with the moisture of the fog as she waited for the shore to appear. She couldn’t see more than a few yards ahead of her, but she didn’t need to. These waters were familiar enough, and she welcomed the cover of the…
