From henhouse to family home: a thatched cottage in Ireland
Briefly

The Pickett family's connection to their land began over a century ago, as they aim to preserve the charm and beauty of their heritage with their thatched home.
Living beside the Irish Sea, Liz describes the daily routine of sea bathing as an addiction, where the feeling of exhilaration afterward outweighs the chilly experience.

Liz considers herself a caretaker of her family's legacy, noting that she and Roger have taken on the responsibility of maintaining the historical integrity of their properties.
