The day of the wedding started cool and cloudy at our peak district cottages. Put the TV on as soon as I was up so I could ‘dip’ into the day’s events as and when I could. The forecast was for an improving day with the further north and west you were the less risk of showers. Luckily we did not see any. Four cottages out with four cottages back in and three cleaners up. One cottage asked if they could leave later so they could see Catherine’s dress but we directed them to the Village Hall. I would have loved to have gone down to the Hall and join in the celebrations there but never mind. Having said that the cleaers and I stopped to see Catherine leave the hotel so we could glimpse that dress and then we had coffee watching the first part of the ceremony before finishing the cleaning. By now the sun was starting to emerge and it was warming up. Had lunch to coincide with the kiss and flypast and then did my final checks. I was just finishing this when the first cottage arrived. All in by 4pm. Two have been before. Caught up with some odd jobs including emailing our friends in Yorkshire. They’re volunteers on the North Yorks Moor Railway and were working today. With no emails or phone calls (!) sat down after dinner and relaxed.
