A trip to the Windmill.....

Stopped by this windmill due to a tip from a fellow on Instagram,  only to be approached by two ladies and no they didnt complain., they came to give me a leaflet in the middle of the field about the up and coming open day where weather permitting the recently restored windmill will once again be makiong flour.

The windmill was built in 1779 on the site of a previous mill from 1615.


Taken with the Mavic 2 Pro.

Yes,  the two ladies that approached me told me how the private owner has been restoring it and its not back to working condition,    If I had the time I might have popped along on Saturday to see it in action,  but alas I doubt I will get that chance.

I tend to use it for the likes and to get ideas,  I dont tend to socialise over there,  although one local drone guy keeps asking if we could meet up and fly together.

Nice of the ladies to stop and give you some history on the windmill.  

Cool image, nicely composed. Thanks for sharing.

I think they hoped to drum up another visitor they could fund raise from.

Ahh, there was an ulterior motive then.

I think so,  they also have a church open day and a special walk you can pay for a map for.

Well, I guess you can't blame them.  Gotta raise money somehow I suppose.
