Monday was very windy first thing, could barely keep on my feet on the back fields at our peak district cottages.  The power went off briefly just after 9am but came back quickly.  The holiday cottages next door were without power for most of the morning and they had a big clean up to do as there had been a wedding party in over the weekend.  One cleaner up as one cottage out and back in.  Power off briefly again late morning as it seemed we had to be switched off so everyone else could be switched on.  A little bit later got a call from Joanna, it looked like they were without power.  Laundryman said he had to be diverted because of a fallen tree near Tideswell.  Guests arrived about 4pm. Wrote up the minutes from the WI committee meeting and made a list of things to get on my planned shopping expedition.  Later in the afternoon James from Haddon Grove called in.  They had been without power since early afternoon having had power restored for a couple of hours late morning (as had a number of local villages) and hadn’t managed to finish the hoovering before they lost power and next guests arrived.  Joanna had also been without power all afternoon but at least they have a generator so they could do the milking.  Power went off then on again about 8pm so hopefully the surrounding area had their power back as it was getting dark but here is a nice sunset picture.
