Experimenting with Windmills

I'm not going out today, so I decided to draw my own postcards, two being sent to USA and one to Canada.
East Anglia is very flat, so used to have many working windmills, either for grinding flour, oats and other foodstuffs, or for pumping water into irrigation or out of drainage ditches.
Sadly a lot of these are now in dissrepair, but more recently a few have been restored as working mills, some charging a small fee to look around them.
