At the end of an enjoyable, but tiring, weekend we've now closed to general visitors for the rest of the year, but we've got schools visiting us for the next couple of weeks before the end of season clean and putting the mill to bed.
As has become tradition now we end our summer with a Victorian Harvest weekend, which suits the time of year and the mill's heritage perfectly. Of course we've been grinding wheat into flour, but also pressing apples for juice and churning cream into butter. And where else do you get free cake?! Our visitors have also enjoyed tastes of apple cake, caraway cake, fruit cake and Victoria sponge all made following old recipes.
There were 19th century tunes from Chris, Joan and Tom.
And Chris once again demonstrated his penny farthing riding skills.
So it was a lovely way to round off a wonderful summer for the mill. But whilst it gets a bit too cold to have everyone visiting over the winter, the work behind the scenes continues, so expect more from us on this blog over the next few months.
