The forecast for Monday was a damp start then cloudy with some sunny intervals.  We had the damp start but then the sun soon came out and Monday turned into a warm and humid day so can’t grumble.  Two cottages out of our peak district cottages and one cleaner up to prepare cottages for next guests.  After lunch went down to Bakewell and Chris came too.  Probably last time this side of the school holidays that I go to Bakewell on a Monday.  Tuesday saw one cottage out and two back in, one has been before and one cleaner up.  The forecast had been for a weit day with up to 2 in of rain and feeling cooler.  The main ran did not materialise until later and then most came in a short heavy downpour so added to the rain that fell early in the morning, Tuesday will probably be the wettest day this month. It was also a humid day.  Andrew is hoping for 3 inches of rain this month, we have already had two, his cows are already munching the grass that was destined for the second silage in August and the milk cows are being given extra food at the end of miking to make up for the lack of grass.
