We've managed to hit the headlines this week with the work we have done bringing the Cherry House in Werrington back to all its original glory with a full restoration of its roof. Well done guys superb work, once again.

The three month lockdown has caused a great deal of uncertainty for everyone across Peterborough, not least for those in the city’s hospitality sector.

It's almost that time of year again when charities get that ever needed boost to the coffers and this year we are doing our bit with our very own Pudsey Bear. Currently, our Pudsey is sitting in a very prominent location and closer to Christmas we are going to auction him off to the highest bidder with all proceeds going to charity. If you see Pudsey on our travels give him a wave and stay tuned for when we are going to auction him off.

PS... Lets see who's first to spot Pudsey and let us know where you've seen him.

Here is a lovely traditional Tudor property we've recently replaced with a new full pattern straw thatch.

The Lord apparently made the world in 7 days... & he only managed that because he left us to do put the roof on his house.

This is a traditional thatch roof with new Sedge Ridge and a repair to the rest of the roof.

I can here some of you thinking…

Wow how great must it be to be a thatcher working up there in the glorious sunshine, wind in your hair sun on your back. All I get is a dodgy air con pumping other peoples fumes, and the only sun I get sits in the break room and covers me in ink…

I wanna be a thatcher, it looks idyllic...

“Working with your hands crafting traditional natural materials”…

“sitting on top of an old cottage, looking out across the rolling English country side…

“breathing in fresh air and basking in the wonderful sunshine”…

And yup it’s wonderful for about 3 months of the year… & then you turn up one morning and snow is what greets you.

At Clive Dodson Thatchers, we don’t turn around and head off home at the sight of a rain cloud that might arrive in 3hrs time…. We’re not builders.!

No matter the weather we will be there when we say and complete when we say we will.

Glad to say Luke completed the Marathon in 5hrs & 4mins. The man's a sadist he just told me he's doing a 20m run with over 200 obstacle's in 3 weeks time... "Jesus, good luck with that one".

Today see's our favourite master thatcher Luke take on a challenge of a different type. He's running the London Marathon all in aid of Bowel Cancer UK. He's currently still going and almost at the 35k mark & running 11 minute miles which quite frankly is amazing. Keep it going Luke we're all cheering you on.
