Even when the Mill is closed, it is still interesting and beautiful.
Balmoral Grist Mill Museum的点评
点评:First, I have to say, the Mill was actually closed when we went. Due to a traffic incident impeding our access to the location of choice for the day, our plans changed and I forgot the Mill was closed on Tuesdays (Mondays as well). We drove out and realized our error when greeted by a staff member (and advised of the days and hours of operation). Now, here we come to the interesting part. Although we did not tour the Mill, and plan to return next year to do so, we had a remarkably interesting conversation with the staff member who greeted us. (There was also a very patient and tolerant employee doing repair work on site). In fact, we may have actually got more out of the visit than I expect we would have if the Mill had been open. It is amazing to speak to someone who clearly loves their job and has so much information about local history. We cannot wait to go back next year to see what we missed.
翻译:首先,我必须说,我们去的时候,磨坊实际上已经关闭了。由于交通事故阻碍了我们前往当天选择的地点,我们的计划发生了变化,我忘记了磨坊在星期二(星期一也是)关闭。我们开车出去,当一名工作人员迎接我们时(并告知我们开放的日期和时间),我们意识到了我们的错误。现在,我们来到了有趣的部分。虽然我们没有参观磨坊,并计划明年再来参观,但我们与迎接我们的工作人员进行了一次非常有趣的对话。(还有一位非常耐心和宽容的员工在现场进行维修工作)。事实上,如果磨坊开放,我们从这次访问中获得的收获可能比我预期的要多。与一个显然热爱自己的工作并且对当地历史有如此多了解的人交谈真是太棒了。我们迫不及待地想明年再回去看看我们错过了什么。
