Heage 6 Sail Windmill, Derbyshire
For better or worse, this year’s Harvest should be safely in. The weather has been, let’s just say strange and unpredictable this year. Reports sound as if overall it has not been anywhere near a bumper crop of cereals.
The magnificent Heage Windmill with its 6 sails is in full working order. Lovingly restored with challenging work for volunteers and fund raisers….. a true labour of love.
In none CV19 times it is open to the public. Then it is worth taking a step back in history to view a Windmill, which just like the Harvest, is dependent upon the weather. The name Heage is derived from the Ango Saxon word Heegge which became ‘High Edge’…. easy to understand as you stand beside the mill on top of a high hill. 🙂
Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other

Get ready for a possibly very cold November and December. Many longer-range weather forecasts are pointing towards a Wintry early Winter!

I am getting that feeling. We haven’t had any real snow or frost for a couple of years so I guess it’s our turn this year 🙂

Some of it is associated with a La Nina. They think it might be like 2008 when even Southern England counties had snow in October! I’ve been getting my warm clothing – and the garden – ready 🙂
