On the Road in East Anglia, UK:
We take in the sites and begin our education in antique and vintage furniture with our own Antiques Roadshow on the road in East Anglia, UK.
In the late Spring into Summer 2012, Georgia and I (Kate) combined exploring the UK, especially East Anglia, and exploring the world of antique and vintage furniture. We dabbled at first looking for what we liked for our own house and what people started telling us they would like to find but hadn’t yet. What follows here and in the next “volumes” of our Adventures starts with photos we have posted at Facebook.

Thatched roofs do not leak. They function like tightly woven baskets. Many overlapping and tightly woven layers shed water.
