But it's not even an historic building. It was built in the 1920s, in an Arts and crafts style. And is not a listed building.

As the article said the availability of 1. a Thatcher (it's a dying trade I'm afraid) 2 Availability of Norfolk Reed Or any reed in fact is in short supply and would have to wait for three years, just to get the extension thatched. I have a friend who hires out one of her barns to a thatcher and was chatting to him out of interest as my uncle was a thatcher in Suffolk. He told me that even if he could buy reed to thatch, the price of it is so prohibitive that customers baulk at the cost. His main Thatching material now is long-stalked straw. But this is getting to be in shorter and shorter supply, year on year as farmers are going for more yield from shorter stalked varieties.

The advice given to me when rescuing someone is to face them towards you, so you can communicate efficiently, but cross arms and as they rise they twist and sit on the edge.

Problem is people who don't know the trade, think it's a cushy life. First thing you have to do in the morning is turn the key in the front door. Far from it, it is an unrelenting task. I will take you through an average Friday for me as a manager. 6am---- Get up and take off the alarm. Wait for dray lorry to turn up usually between 6:30 to 7 am, Put stock away. (The sorting out of stock was Thursday evening) Come back upstairs usually by 8am Let in the cleaner wait till they finish whilst restocking drinks. Finally, at 9:30am I can get a cup of tea and some breakfast. A shower and get myself sorted. Time to do the books daily entry from the day before. Sort out float in tills. check change situation for weekend and phone bank for change order. It's now 10:45 tills downstairs and into registers staff arrive. 11am open doors, customers start arriving. Turn on kitchen appliances get ovens hot. Make sure all is running smoothly. Rush upstairs and change into chefs whites come down and prep veg salads and such like. 12 midday restaurant opens. Cook until 2:15 Rush upstairs change and down to bank to collect change. Home, shower And back downstairs to run the bar for the afternoon maybe grab a cup of tea on the go usually cold by half a cup, do this until 5:15 Kitchen back on for food at 6pm change once again. Clean down kitchen from lunch cook until 9pm. Clean kitchen again. Upstairs shower change, back down to bar work until 11:30. Finally lock up. Turn off the lights Go upstairs reconcile the tills and float up for next day that's midnight and I'm still buzzing watch TV for an hour usually fall asleep in the chair. 7 hours later do it all over again less the dray. Yep another day in paradise. Did that for 6 and a half years no holidays as such. Be a landlord they say it will be fun! And don't mention all the drunks who want a fight, because you won't serve them anymore.

Just come through Beccles by road and the water is over the bank by the bridge. And the Waveney Valley has fields flooded all the way to Diss.
