We walk through the woods at Billingford Common
An Open Day at the Windmill, Billingford, Norfolk - 21st August 2021
It's the only open day of the year - and the first for ages - at 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.
