Lovely article and photo in the Yorkshire Post today.
“Helen Hoult, vice-chair of the Holgate Windmill preservation society, said it all looked "very jolly" at the windmill, with a special biscuit making day using home-ground flour. “The weather has been great, it's been a lovely day," said Ms Hoult. "People really are enjoying it, we've had such a lot of children through wanting to enjoy the occasion." Thank you to everyone who visited and helped us celebrate the coronation.” #holgatewindmill #holgate #windmill #yorkshirepost #tradcornmillersguild #crownbiscuit #celebration #coronation
