We were joined by Mike Dean from Pakenham Water Mill. He took us through an interesting talk on the history of the Mill and the different stages it has been through over the centuries, potentially reaching back to the Saxons! We learnt about the milling process and the extensive upkeep it takes to keep the mill running in this day and age. We will be planning a visit next year to see the mill in action and perhaps some tea and cake afterwards!
Our competition this month was to make something with flour, which brought an array of entries including kinetic sand, bread and cookies, which our president Joanne won.
