Windmill Garden Ornament

There was a song in the 60s called 'Windmill in Old Amsterdam', it featured imaginatively crafted lines such as 'A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn't grousin''.

Maybe not a Grammy award winner but a song that was a favourite amongst children for many years.

A favourite sight for most people not only in Amsterdam but anywhere in the country is a windmill. They are reminders of a bygone age when the pace of life was slower.

There are very few working examples now, so Broderstone's cast stone Windmill Garden Ornament will introduce a reminder of an time less complicated and stressful.

And that is exactly the relaxing atmosphere that most people seek in the sanctuary of their garden. 

Windmills used to be a common sight throughout the countryside with their sails blowing in the wind to drive heavy milling stones below.

However pretty the sight, the days of Dusty Miller turning freshly harvested wheat into flour are long gone. Windmills are now quite rare, especially those in full working order. 

So perhaps this Borderstone cast stone windmill can be used as a reminder of a slower bygone age, before the onset of the industrial revolution when the pace of life was more sedate.

Many people want to create that sort of ambiance in the sancturay of their garden and the Large Windmill Ornament can play an integral part in such a setting.
