A catch up morning for me at our peak district cottages while Chris borrowed one of Andrew’s tractors to do some log splitting.  Had planned to pay bills etc in the afternoon but the last of my hanging basket plants arrived so I planted up a few more baskets, will finish off on Friday.  Just need the nice weather to put them outside!  In the evening I collected Joanna and we went to our WI President’s house for our monthly committee meeting.  When we were coming back we could see there was a blue flashing light on our drive but as it was dark I didn’t know which emergency service it was.  As I was dropping Joanna off Andrew came out and said there had been a lot of police cars and the police helicopter at our property because of a drunk driver.  I had to drive up the field to get to the car park, there were two police cars and a recovery vehicle on the drive.  When I found Chris he said that a vehicle had driven up the field into the back field (the gate was open) followed by a police car, but as the officer was alone he called for back up which arrived in the form of the police helicopter, another police car and some police dogs but the driver had already escaped.  All this excitement and I wasn’t here!
