Dilapidated but working just and that is just like me!

 Out with Mrs. Woody for a drive out and some lunch as it was her birthday I could not help but appreciate the day not only for Mrs. W's special day but because despite being mid October it was a stunning day weatherwise!

What cloud there was had something special about it and which I can remember being taught about at school!

Dropping in on Wymondham Windmill I took, what for me is a good photo - well I think anyway! Love that mackerel sky which according to Google consists of multiple rows of cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds in an undulating, rippling pattern resembling fish scales - just as I recall from my school days!

That cloud was still about as we ended up at Whissendine windmill. 

It is a working windmill despite two of its sails having been taken off and laying in the yard presumably waiting repairs. It would certainly make an interesting model to build - dilapidated but working just and that is just like me!

There is that Mackerel Sky again.

You can go inside and wander about and when we were there it was grinding floor which is for sale at £5.50 a kilo.

There is obviously a lot of history to the mill and when we have some more time we will come back. Mrs W was ready for her birthday lunch which was much enjoyed at....

Repeating myself!

It was another year of Mrs. Woody's sentence completed today! That is another year married to me! She did get some reward for that time though in the form of this rocking lounger where she will be able to lounge in whilst directing me doing chores!

We just went out for a random drive and instead of repeating ourselves and just driving by Wymondham Windmill we actually stopped for a look round. 

Although there are no sails the windmill looks impressive on the outside...

and on the inside where the original workings have been retained.

There are a number of shops and businesses on site as well as a café.

These two came home with Mrs. W  from one of the shops as a anniversary gift.

Despite being a random drive we repeated ourselves and ended up at lunchtime exactly where we were one year ago - at Café Ventoux and you can read about that in this blog here.

Just as last time, the food was delicious. Mrs. W had the fish finger roll 

Whilst I had the Full Ventoux Brunch. There is bacon and sausage behind the toast  and tomato!

Having repeated where we went to a year ago I also repeated to the same lady what I said last year which was that it was that good that if it wasn't considered bad manners I would have licked the plate clean! Mrs. Woody, repeated last years reaction by  just rolling her eyes at that! 

Will Mrs, W repeat another year with me after that?
