Luckily it all fell overnight! Saturday27/7 was another pleasant day at our self catering cottages near Bakewell (see here), still warm but not as hot as Friday. First thing said goodbye to our departing four cottages before heading down to the Farmers Market where I bumped into one of the departed cottages. When I got back cleaning was well under way. Five arrivals, one has been before, all arriving between 3 and 5 pm. The forecast was for heavy thundery showers from about 8pm and when I took the dogs for their evening constitution there were already some rumbles of thunder. Should have taken the camera to get some shots of the weather rolling across the dales. Blue sensed the change and refused to go any further into the fields and we had just got back in when the heavens opened. Chris put on my new dog walking coat to got out and check the gutters and run off from the courtyard. The storm didn’t last long but the rain continued into the night with some heavier bursts. I did give the dogs some herbal drops to calm them. By the morning the weather station showed that 1.88 in rain had fallen between 8pm and 5am. Sunday was a cooler day with some showers. Went to get the paper and found part of the car park in Bakewell was under water, presumably because of a blocked drain. The river was also a lot higher. I spent a lot of the day on housework, but these things need to be done.
