Windy Miller is a character in the British children's TV series Camberwick Green, who lives in a windmill, Colly's Mill. As well as being a character in Camberwick Green, he also appears in the series Chigley, the fictional neighbouring village to Camberwick Green.

Windy is known for brewing his own cider, which makes him very 'sleepy'.

Although the original puppet and set were destroyed in 1970, Windy was recreated to feature in a series of TV adverts for The Quaker Oats Company.

Song

When Windy appears on the show he is usually accompanied by the following song:

Windy Miller, Windy Miller sharper than a thorn, Like a mouse he's spry and nimble when he grinds the corn. Like a bird he'll watch the wind and listen for the sound, Which says he has the wind he needs to make the sails go round.
