With years of neglect, the buildings are not the only things that need attention; the grounds have succumbed to Nature’s constant growth. Trees need trimming, grass strimming and weeds removed. Even after all the work on the buildings has been completed, the grounds will require constant attention for many years to come.

Felled timber cut and stacked 
An attempt at a “Norwegian” wood stack! 
Enough wood to see us through the hardest winter 
The new wood store 
This year’s vegetation needs taming 
A few days with a strimmer makes a vast difference 
Bellflowers campanula growing on the old Mill walls 
Poppies growing on the banks 
Pepperbox Poppies
Papaver somniferum
A trio of Mallards visit the site 
A Kestrel searching for its next meal 
A pair of Common Lizards Zootoca vivipara basking and shedding in the late Spring sunshine
