It was really exciting!
My camera memory card got full with the video, and then I couldn't take photos CHIZ CHIZ. We went into the Mill for a reception (I was invited as I'm a volunteer) and the Waits came in too and played. There was wine, snacks, Mill bread, and beer from our milkman's microbrewery. The machinery in the cap and on the stones floor was working (but not in gear with the stones yet) with a wonderful gentle tuckety sound coming from the great brake wheel behind the sails, which turns the main shaft. I was on the top floor when the Mayor came up and I was talking to him about the works, and he was looking out trying to see where his childhood home was. He was very jolly. It was fun seeing the ladies of the civic party, dressed up to the nines and with their chains on, climbing the last ladder to peer into the cap.
Another photo I couldn't get was the beautiful shadow of the turning sails, over the houses, when the sun came out.
