Jubilee Tuesday was a cooler day at our peak district cottages and a bit more overcast, but it stayed dry until later in the day.  One cottage out and one back in and one cleaner up.  Dipped into the day’s proceedings in London on TV every now and then too.  Main thing I wanted to see was the fly past with the Red Arrows which I did with guests arriving afterwards.  Wednesday was forecast to be heavy showers from the word go but it was actually very pleasant in the morning so I finished planting out plants.  After lunch I went down to Bakewell to get some provisions for the next few days.  I was surprised at just how busy it was was it was half term but the traffic was so bad I drove back via Ashford as the traffic in Bakewell had almost come to a standstill.  On the way home there was a terrific downpour and the temperature dropped by quite a few degrees.  Back home there was a telephone message from some friends we haven’t seen for a few years who were in the area and wanted to meet up.  They called in and we had a cup tea and later in the evening we went to the Lathkil Hotel for a meal.  So we had an unexpected nice evening out.  Should have gone to a WI Committee meeting but sent my apologies!
