So this thing called climate change has gotten our seasons in the UK a little confused. Just when we thought Spring was imminent we got a heavy dollop of the white stuff.
England is not set up for this because we don't normally get a huge amount of snow, so everything grinds to a halt and instead of going to work we get to go sledging!
Having a six-sailed windmill in the village makes for a pretty cool sledging backdrop, and it re-opens to the public on 31st March.
Built in 1797 and restored in 2002, Heage Windmill, a Grade II listed building, is the only working six-sailed stone tower windmill in England. Set in the Derbyshire countryside, it provides spectacular views towards the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
Visitors can go on tours of the windmill with guides in traditional milling costume. There is also an Interpretation Centre and a shop selling the windmill’s own flour.
All photos taken by me. If you have enjoyed this glimpse into our sledging fun please follow, upvote and resteem.
