Granddaughter's Christening

We went to Santana's grand-daughter's christening today and she was very well behaved and a credit to her parents.

Proceedings went well and we were rewarded with lovely weather too.

Drove north after the event and saw this lovely windmill on the way to the motorway.

Pitstone windmill, one of the oldest windmills in Britain, ground flour for the village for almost three hundred years until a freak storm in the early 1900s left it damaged beyond economic repair.

Donated to the National Trust in 1937 Pitstone Windmill has been faithfully restored by a dedicated team of local volunteers. It's possible explore both the inner and outer workings of the windmill; including the massive post upon which the mill turns and the tail pole which the miller used to position the sails in the wind, while also taking in spectacular views of the surrounding Chilterns countryside.
