NOT sure which part, but he certainly looks it. ;¬)

When he 1st hove into view - at a glance I thought it was female, but he makes a good medieval peasant.
Clicky had business down at the Heron Corn Mill and was busy on Wednesday; SO - this week Wednesday fell on a Friday.
Not a bad hour or 2 for a fiver. Cuppa & biscuit at kick off, a very instructive tour of the mill and another biscuit & brew at the end.
He pointed at one of the bits of equipment and informed us that, when Bonny Prince Charlie marched past it was already 5 years old and it's still working.
The whole lot was powered from ONE water wheel. Their "electrickery"© Catweasel was also water generated for their own use, lighting etc. with sufficient to spare that they sold close to £90k to the paper mill across the river annually. Had I had a successful shot of the generator it'd be here.
"Funny" story:-
He was showing one party round and one of them said something about "cutting edge green technology". To which he replied - "Not really, the patent was applied for in 1912; it's just that coal ousted it for a while."

I was interested to see the extra growing on one of the grindstones at the entrance. I could ramble on for a LOT longer on the Mill better shut up & publish.
