A traditional windmill made of wood and painted a kind of creamy colour. It has four wooden vanes, attached to the central point with what looks like a mechanism to change the angle of the vane and so speed up/slow down rotation. It was stopped when I saw it. 7 8 It's in Mountnessing, in a park and across the road from a pub which 9 served me a perfectly-Coke-flavoured glass of Coke. 10 11 Dropped the bike on the way home :-(. It was a basic mistake (put my foot down, the ground was a bit further away than I thought) but it did kind of put a damper on the rest of the journey home. No damage to the bike (thanks crash bungs!) but my airbag did go off as I inelegantly dismounted to the side. Notes to self: find out how to replace the airbag cartridge. 12 13 My lower back feels a bit funny, I think from where I was trying to save the bike from falling, but yoga will fix that
