If you follow TFT "the woodexperts" on Twitter, you'll see that we're now being followed by - and in turn we are following - UK Windmills. This organisation has some very interesting stuff about some of the older and some of the more recently-restored mills: including watermills as well as windmills. I'm still trying to find out how (if) I can post photo's on this Blog: and when I do, I'll show you some of me halfway up a windmill in Humberside. (I didn't do that just for fun: I carry out an annual condition survey on the sail beams - after one snapped off during milling, some years ago!)
I'm also interested in the restored watermill at Gayle, near Hawes - after all, it's not very far from us: we're based in Ripon - and Hawes is just a few miles upstream, on the River Ure.
I have so many interesting things to show you - and also to say - about the uses of timber in all manner of constructions, both old and new. As time goes by, and I get more familiar with this "blogging" lark, I hope to share many of them with you all out there in the (what a daft name!) "blogosphere".
Did I tell you that I set crosswords? One day I will have to see if I can do one about tweeting....
Cheers for now.
