When there was a threat from the enemy

Alford Windmill, Lincolnshire Avro Shackleton Full moonlight was always aMy local tourist attraction, the impressive five sailed windmill at Alford, just a few miles from where I live. I feel I caught the painting at just the right time as all the Hawthorn, Cow Parsley and Pink Campion was in full bloom, framing the mill perfectly.
