With more Covid restrictions lifted we were able to visit our son and family and stay overnight. We went for a walk in the village it was a beautiful day and so peaceful. Some of the properties have a thatched roof.
A Grade ll listed saw mill was built around the 1850’s in a Swiss chalet style on the Osmaston Manor estate in order to meet timber demands on the Estate. At its peak it employed 20 people and all timber was sourced locally. It was powered until 1960 by a 16ft diameter by 2.5ft pitch back iron waterwheel but is now powered by a 15hp electric motor. There is a small ornamental cascade to the left of the building. The water wheel has been restored. I tried to get a better view point but a fence, thistles and overgrowth stopped me.

A quaint, charming village, Sylvia, and you captured the beauty so well. It must have been a joy for you and Bob having an overnight with your son.

You've outdone yourself, Sylvia. These are really lovely. The landscapes are beautiful and fresh and the building are charming. The mill looks very nice nested away like it is. Very well done.

A magnificent set, sylvia...the bluebells in the woods, the lake reflection, and the cows and the pheasant are my favorites. So glad you got to spend time with your family.
