Bembride Windmill

Bembridge Mill is a four-storey tower mill with a boat-shaped cap, which is winded by chain and wheel. It has four Common sails. The two pairs of millstones are driven underdrift.
Bembridge Mill was built c. 1700. It was painted by Turner in 1795. The mill was working by wind until 1913, having only been used for grinding animal feed after 1897. The mill was restored in 1935 and again in 1959, the latter restoration being funded by public subscription. In 1962 the mill was taken over by the National Trust. It has been restored and is open to the public.

Yay finally the typical touristy card from Holland, which oddly enough comes after more than a year of swapping and postcrossing! Thank you Samantha for the tulips and windmill :)

Windmill from Lithuania

 

This area of Lithuania is known as 'Little Switzerland' due to the beauty of the countryside and a large number of lakes.The town of Obeliai is small and quite poor, due in no small part to the diversion of the railway. The station remains but nothing stops there any more.

Many thanks to Sonata for this beautiful windmill card, almost looks like the walking castle in "Howl's Moving Castle" except this is a windmill :)
