Explored! Thank you very much :-)

SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE
18 JAN 2020
RULE OF THIRDS

This is Pitstone Windmill. It stands in the north-east corner of a large field near the parish boundary of Ivinghoe and Pitstone in Buckinghamshire. It is now owned by the National Trust. It is thought to have been first built circa 1627 as this date is carved on part of the framework of the windmill. This is the earliest date to be found on any windmill in the British Isles. Such a structure would have had to have frequent repairs made to it, so it is quite possible the mill predates 1627.

What a wonderful old windmill that looks great on the full screen.

So beautifully photographed and composed, Roger, and it goes so nicely with this song. I just love the way she sings this.
