View of our house from the windmill next door
In my present (wobbly balance) state of health because of my stroke , I cannot climb up the inside of the fully restored windmill right next door to us.
This morning, our son managed a sneak preview and he took some photos of our bungalow from the very top floor of the mill.

You can see my V2000 vertical and 2m halo on the garage roof if you look at the blown up photo. You may JUST be able to see my HF Par end-fed wire too but you will need to look carefully at the full sized photo.
For the second time this year, a party of school children is visiting the museum, and windmill. The windmill has its official opening on Sunday April 13th.

The windmill,next to our bungalow, is the highest spot in the village. The church, about 400m away, is on the second highest ground.
