A homeowner has completed the ultimate lockdown DIY project of 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 hand-painting the gigantic five tonne sails as part of a refurbishment of historic Berkswell Windmill. The 70ft 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. This video was filmed 22nd September 2020.
