Wicken windmill
One of our favourite walks is to Wicken Fen, where we have a bite to eat. Wicken also has a village windmill (shown in the photo).

Very near? - NOT amateur radio
As mentioned before, we live right next door to a fully restored 200 year old windmill.
Just occasionally the sails turn, but they do not bother us ever.

Windmill next door - NOT amateur radio
As many may remember, we live next door to a fully restored and working 200 year old windmill which is part of Burwell Museum.
Just occasionally, they turn the sails on but they never disturb us. It is just over the garden wall. The attached photo was taken from the lounge window. The sky was blue, but it was very cold!

Going home - NOT amateur radio
Our younger son and his children have been here for a few days and went home this morning.
This photo in our garden was just before they left.

A better day (Thursday) - NOT amateur radio
It has been mainly dry today. There are clouds in the sky, but it has not (yet) rained today. "Our" windmill next door looks splendid with a mainly blue sky and a cloud behind. The windmill is next door and this photo was from the lounge window

Museum open again - NOT amateur radio
Yesterday, after what has seemed a long winter, our local museum and windmill next door reopened. The weather was sunny and pleasant. Parking near our house is not usually an issue. It was yesterday!!

"Our" windmill - NOT amateur radio
This photo was taken in 2016 and shows our windmill next door. The windmill is part of the very impressive Burwell Museum that opens next weekend after the winter. It is open Thursdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays Easter until late October. The views from the fully restored 200 year old windmill are impressive.

"Our" windmill - NOT amateur radio
We see the windmill right next to us at breakfast and from the lounge.
This photo was taken yesterday when we had showers and sunshine. Well worth a visit as it is fully restored. The museum is excellent.
Few people have a fully restored windmill right next door!

Staging post - NOT amateur radio
It appears the windmill next door is a staging post for starlings off to roost. It is not uncommon to see 100 on the sails (and a few squabbling on our bird table!) before flying off to their roost. In some parts of the UK,starlings are getting rarer. Not here!
If you look carefully at the photo, you may be able to see them starting to gather.
As you can see, still cold here - minus 4 degrees Celsius mid morning.

"Our" windmill next door - NOT amateur radio
As mentioned before, we live next door to a fully restored windmill that is 200 years old. Every Tuesday, volunteers come to help make sure it is in top condition.
The photo shows Andrew up on one of the sails. Rather him than me!

Bunting - NOT amateur radio
Even the windmill next door is being strewn with bunting for the queen's jubilee celebrations.
My wife ordered some union jack cupcakes on May 3rd. They were due May 30th, but had not been dispatched yet! So, the order was cancelled today.
