title An Open Day at the Windmill, Billingford, Norfolk - 21st August 2021 intro It's the only open day of the year, and the first for ages, for the Billingford Windmill, and we'd only known about it because we had to swing by via Brockdish in order to pick Harry up from a sleep over. We rock up just in time to catch a short guided tour of the newly-restored windmill, having seen the installation of the new sail posts in the lockdown of 2020. imgp9827 We walk through the woods at Billingford Common imgp9828 Isobel roams around imgp9830 Billingford Windmill with its new sails imgp9831 Isobel fills in the contact form imgp9834 The tour of the windmill starts imgp9838 A cobwebby window imgp9839 Windmill gears imgp9841 A cobwebbed chain imgp9843 A close-up of gears imgp9849 The wheels guiding the windmill's cap imgp9853 Inside the restored windmill cap imgp9856 A load of wound-up chain imgp9859 The tour talk continues imgp9862 Harry and Fred imgp9867 In the windmill imgp9869 The actual millstones imgp9870 The big gear driving the millstones imgp9873 Fred looks up a grain shute imgp9875 Harry and Fred imgp9877 The underside of a millstone imgp9883 Looking out from the windmill imgp9885 A spare millstone imgp9887 The dude on the ticket desk imgp9888 The shepherd hut café imgp9890 Out on Billingford Common imgp9893 A blue chair in the grass imgp9894 We stop for a drink imgp9898 The Horseshoes pub and the old post office imgp9899 Isobel outside the shepherd hut imgp9900 The windmill again imgp9901 The boys are in a tree imgp9902 Fred bounces around on the spring branch imgp9906 Harry and Fred imgp9908 Isobel does her phone in the woods
