Thursday was another day of sunshine and showers.  The morning sun felt very warm when I took the dogs for their walk at our peak district cottages.  Chatted to some of the guests as they were leaving for the day.  One has already booked for another week later this year.  Three cottages out and one cleaner up.  The morning just seemed to fly by but I took a number of bookings which made up for a couple of cancellations.  After lunch I had planned to go to Bakewell but that was delayed by an unexpected visitor.  An elderly gentleman with his daughter called in.  He had been evacuated here during the war to stay with his uncle and aunt.  Over a cup of tea he was able to give us some more information about Bolehill which we can add to our knowledge of the farm and the daughter has said she will scan and email some photos to us.  Went down to Bakewell later to get provisions for the weekend and Chris came too.  Back home a late evening shower turned into a little storm with thunder and lightening leading to traumatised dogs.  The rain turned to hail and we watched the storm cross the hillside at Stanton leaving a white covering of hail and a rainbow to finish it off.
