Yes, it does look a bit lonely :o(
But a very nice looking windmill and a pleasing shot.
Best wishes, Andy

The great thing is seeing much of the original timber machinery in place. I remember, back in the late 1950s, seeing the working machinery of the out of use Greywell water mill, still all in place and even with tools and flour sacks hanging around, often wonder what may have happened to it all since.
