Had expected it to start wet but it didn’t but it wasn’t too long before it was raining.  Four cottages out with four back in and one remaining for a second week at our peak district cottages.  Was at Farmers Market by 9.30 and back by 10.30.  Two cleaners up today and cleaning finished on schedule.  I hate change overs on rainy days.  I cannot hang out damp tea towels and bath mats to dry and even though there are barrier mats in the cottages I don’t like going in once they have been cleaned with wet shoes (even though I take them off).  Three cottages arrived between 3&4 pm, one has been here before.  The final cottage didn’t arrive until 10.30pm so spent some time doing paperwork and sitting down catching up on programmes recorded during the week.  We had a lot of rain today, more than we have had all month , but we have still had a dry month.  Andrew may have to start silaging sooner rather than later so that the quality of the grass doesn’t deteriorate.
