English Vintners Return to the Craft on Britain's Soil
Britain has revived winemaking with Hambledon Vineyard leading a movement across England and Wales. Enthusiasts now cultivate over 400 acres, with vines in Cornwall, Derbyshire, East Anglia, the Isle of Wight, and Essex. The region mostly produces white wines ranging from dry to medium dry, with a few exported to the United States.

Dutch Windmill Home Keeps A Century’s Rhythm
In Schermerhorn near Amsterdam, Nelleken Muysken and husband Matthys live in one of 11 thatched windmills kept as homes. They tend the 350 year old mill by wind, climbing blades and using a rope brake to turn the 75 foot crosswinds. The town preserves mills as monuments, with rent to residents who restore and maintain them.
