Millers and colleagues from Weaver Hall Museum recently met for the annual Mill vs Museum skittles match. It's always a time of sharing stories and remembering the happenings of the past year. We also said a sad but fond farewell to one of our millers, John, who has been grinding wheat at Stretton for 22 years though we're very pleased he will be keeping in touch with the goings on at the mill.
For the past 4 years the millers were victorious, but the tide had turned and the museum took home the trophy.
Then the night was ended and all headed home. But we shall be back together at Stretton Watermill at 4pm on Saturday 14th January - Old New Year - when we'll be wassailing our apple trees and looking forward to a new season of milling adventures.
