The last day of June was actually disappointing after all the hype. Yes it may have been the hottest day in the south of the country but at Bolehill Cottages (see here) the breeze kept the edge of the temperature and by the evening it was to breezy for a picnic. Never mind. In the morning one cottage departed and we turned it round in time for the arrivals later in the day. Otherwise we had a quiet day, but at least it was mainly sunny and dry. Andrew moved the cows from one side of our drive field to the other side so Chris helped move them and the electric fence to the other side. Monday was a fresher day. Two departures and two arrivals and one cleaner up. First cottage arrived at 3pm and second one at 4pm. After I had my weekly chat with my friend in Yorkshire we headed down to Bakewell to see the well dressings.  They were still clearing up from the street market when we got there. We first went to Bath Gardens where there were two of the wells and of course the gardens themselves were looking good as usual. Then we walked up to the Church to see the Wells there before heading home.  Tuesday was quite a dull day with rain arriving later in the day.  No departures or arrivals but we needed a new hanging bracket and some other gardening sundries so we headed off to Chatsworth Garden Centre where we also had lunch. We came back via the Peak Shopping Village (formerly known as the Peak Outlet Centre) so I had a shopping fix. A few quiet days ahead so I hope to get a number of jobs done.  There are rumours of more good weather to come so here are the stats for June:

Highest temp 20.7 deg C on 19th lowest 6 deg C on 1st, warmest day 19th and night 18th, coldest day 10th and night 1st.  Wettest day 22nd, during the night, about .5 inches, with total 1.32 inches compared to 6.3 inches in June 2012. highest UV 9.6 on 22nd.
