Was It Really So Long Ago

Tide Mill

After breakfast out, we all walked along the River Deben in Woodbridge, past the rowing club, numerous house boats and barges to the tide mill. A mill has been working on the site for 800 years or so. It was a bright sunny January day, so very cold in the breeze running inland. 

Back in the late sixties /early seventies, the mill was clad in corrugated iron and blackened as can be seen in my grandad's painting of the building (see extra).

I shivered in my thick coat and back at home, I shivered under a blanket in front of the fire. This isn't right at all!
