The thatched roof on the globe is actually fake - in that there is a real roof beneath it. The thatch put on 10 years ago was supposed to last for 50 years but had to be replaced last summer. So what is strange about it that the original wheat straw thatch applied 400 years ago would have lasted 30 years, but the imported water reed thatch put on 10 years ago using modern methods rotted away in no time - because it was of poor quality and badly applied. Come to think of it... this isn't strange at all.
