Tin of shortbread? Or Jigsaw?

My first thought for this title was 'Quintessential'. But then there's something about cottages like this that make me think of, well, tins of shortbread or jigsaws.

 

However, as well as it's aesthetic character, this cottage has a greater claim to being quintessentially English, since it's the childhood home of Thomas Hardy, in Higher Bockhampton (now owned by The National Trust).

 

This was one destination on a recent short stay exploring some historic Hardy locations in Dorset. Fun :-)
