The Thatcher

Got a message on my phone today and because I didn't react to it as I should have I ended causing unnecessary grief to a friend..... You see I got distracted by an uncommon sight... A thatcher working away on a roof using hand cut straw...something that is becoming a rarer sight year by year... So I stopped to watch and chat to him for hours and photograph every aspect of his special, dying trade.....but he'll be there tomorrow....and next week..... I should have rang my friend a second time....... It's more important that my friend is here tomorrow.....and next week... Thatchers are rare... Good friends are even more rare.....Sorry...just saying
