I'm having a clear out of my photos in lightroom and came across this one from last year of the Jill windmill in Sussex.
I've disabled commenting because of poor internet, lack of patience with said internet, plus am having too much fun to do commenting! lol.

Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands, belonging to the municipality of Molenwaard, in the province South Holland, about 15 km east of Rotterdam. Kinderdijk is situated in a polder in the Alblasserwaard at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. To drain the polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands. The windmills of Kinderdijk are one of the best known Dutch tourist sites. They have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
The windmills are in itself a beauty but when you get a chance to capture them along with the swan it is a real treat. Now the beauty is doubled. Thanks to the slient water and still swan :)
Windmühle Hille
Der Erdholländer wurde 1733 erbaut. Der bauchig-konische Mühlenturm wurde im unteren Drittel aus Schieferbruchsteinen und darüber aus Feldbrandsteinen gemauert.
Bis 1951 wurde die Mühle mit Flügeln betrieben, dann brach im Sturm ein Flügel ab und die Mühle wurde mit einem neben dem Gebäude stehenden Motor angetrieben. 1956 brach ein Getriebeteil am Motorgang und der Mühlenbetrieb wurde gänzlich eingestellt.
Nach der Restaurierung hat die Mühle wieder windgängige „rechtsdrehende“ Segelflügel – eine Besonderheit im Windmühlenbau, drehen sich doch sonst fast alle Flügel andersherum – sowie eine Windrosenanlage mit zusätzlichem „Ziehrad“.

Villaverde, a few kilometers from La Oliva, is a small village of about 1500 souls. Numerous farmhouses, now restored for workers and tourists, make up the main nucleus of the town. South of the village, a ridge called "La Montaneta" brings two mills in excellent condition that can be visited.
We finally got to visit the windmill which is one of the biggest in Norfolk. It is quite difficult to get to as there is no road and unless you have a boat which we don't it is a six mile round trip walk although there is a tiny railway request stop fairly nearby. I was really impressed by the size of the mill so it was well worth the walk.
