Brian's thatch clearance has reached the kitchen area and there are some nice beams! They are obviously not original but have been added as some point to add additional support to the original thatch in this larger room. They appear to still have some age to them (certainly more than 20 years as that is when we think the new roof was added), and are much more attractive than the original tree trunks. Since this was the room in which we were hoping to keep some of the lower roof structure on display as a feature this is great news. One of the rafters (the one above where the crucifix lightbulb was) is decorated with two crosses and a St Brigid's cross, which had been hidden by the ceiling.
