Sky High!

As promised, here are some of the great photographs taken for us whilst the film unit's crane was on site!

What's Going On!?

If you’ve paid a visit to the Windmill Car Park today you will have noticed that we have a film crew on site. You might also have noticed the extremely large crane parked on the Triangle, just outside the horse paddock. Let’s face it, it would have been difficult to miss! Wall to Wall Productions have been here filming an episode of “New Tricks” which stars Amanda Redman, James Bolam, Dennis Waterman and Alun Armstrong and it was great to see James Bolam here again (he even said hello to my dog, my claim to fame for today!!). The crane supports a light which should shine down on the scene, recreating the moonlit night they want. The crew have been brilliant and were kind enough to take some aerial shots of the Windmill for us whilst the crane was up. I shall share them with you as soon as we have them!

Tree Planting

We have recently completed our tree planting for this year which was good to get out of the way before the cold weather hit too hard.A special tree has been planted this year for one of the Conservators, Mrs Elizabeth Witts. Elizabeth has been a Conservator for over 20 years and will not be standing in the 2006 election. To mark the extraordinary contribution that Elizabeth has made to the Commons, it was decided to plant a tree at the Rushmere. It is a Golden Weeping Willow and now resides in pride of place at the side of the pond.
