Fourth instalment of my "Song Lyrics" theme for the week, albeit a bit of a tenuous link today.
I decided upon this to song to highlight how difficult it is to (a) think of an apt song and then (b) put it into action whilst maintaining a reasonable level of photography and also fitting it around a very busy work and rehearsal schedule!
This week's theme has definitely been causing my mind to windmill!
Kibworth Windmill is thought to of been moved to this site sometime before 1635, it had major rebuilding work in 1770 and the brick roundhouse was added in 1850s. It has since had new sails in 1971 and repairs in 1983,1986 and 2008.
Got up bright and early to head over to Pitstone to try to capture the sunrise at the Windmill. It was a bit cloudy, so perhaps not the best conditions possible but I still decided to give it a go.
On our sailing trip on the schooner Maja, we passed a formation of sea windmills in Øresund, near Copenhagen.
