Woman renovates windmill in her garden
  • A homeowner has completed the ultimate lockdown DIY project at one of Britain's last fully-working windmills - after using a cherry picker to paint the sails by hand. Jeanette McGarry, 58, painstakingly spent three weeks touching up the paintwork on the gigantic five tonne sails as part of a refurbishment of historic Berkswell Windmill. The 70ft tall Grade II-listed building has been standing for nearly 200 years in the village of Balsall Common, West Mids., and was bought by Jeannette in 2005. She then spent £200,000 restoring the 19th century four-bladed tower mill to its former glory with the help of English Heritage after it fell into a state of disrepair.
