Interview with the owner of the UK's tallest windmill, on the work to repair its sails

Distant shot through a field of grain of The Great Grain Mill of Sutton. The camera pans as the windmill's owner Nick Munn walks up the nine floors as the reporter Tim Child tells the backstory of the mill. Sat atop the sails, they discuss the height of the mill and the problems of repairing the sails. Munn demonstrates the deterioration by pulling away a rotten piece of wood. The reporter tells how giant mature Douglas Firs from Canada have been brought in to fix the sails. Nick Munn explains what they will do with the delivery.
