Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum is a Grade I listed mill dating from 1170, that still mills flour. Restored, it is a popular, interactive museum where working machinery and milling bring history to life

The aircraft vapour trail is between the Moon and the clouds and therefore casts a shadow. Fond memories of the Equinox Appreciation last weekend. #woodbridgetidemillmuseum #equinox #woodbridgeambientmusicfestival

Thank you to all those that have supported the Equinox event this weekend. No more projections I'm afraid but the #woodbridgeambientmusicfestival continues and our display will be in #woodbridgetidemillmuseum all week

Wonderful evening at #woodbridgetidemillmuseum last night. #woodbridgeambientmusicfestival kicked off its packed weekend and we were able to appreciate the Moon that provides our tides...and tide mill! #eastsuffolkcouncil

Dressing the stones recently highlighted sensitivity to the hot weather. When it's hot flour can become pasty at the edge where the stones move fastest. Ian and Rick had to clear out and recut the Furrows and Flys designed to cool and move the flour along. #millengineering #woodbridgetidemillmuseum

On Moon matters, I learn of the Turtle Calendar. Indigenous and Native Americans discovered that a turtle's shell pattern matched the Moon's cycles. They used it as a calender. 13 centre scales = annual full moons and 28 smaller = the days between. #woodbridgetidemillmuseum

Sam from #thorringtonmill and #thorringtonmillvineyard dropped in great to hear about the mill (maintenance, shortage of volunteers, price of grain etc) but v exciting - they have a vineyard! I think we should organise an awayday! Hmmm pinot noir, yours truly's fave 😋

It's Lammas Day folks, the autumn harvest festival celebrated on August 1st. It marks the peak of summer and the start of gathering grain (long gone this year). The day focuses, amongst other things, on baking bread. And what better flour to use than #woodbridgetidemill flour.

It's Lammas Day this Sat that usually marks the beginning of harvest. HOWEVER harvest in Suffolk began in late June - one of the earliest starts on record—driven by prolonged hot weather and dry spring conditions. #getbaking #woodbridgetidemillmuseum #LammasDay
