We lost our water supply in the village late on Monday night and to United Utilities credit they worked overnight and located a burst,fixed it and got supplies on by morning,so far so good, but then they left the hole in the road for two days right outside Hill Top entrance causing a headache for the National Trust and traffic problems in a busy village, they decided this afternoon right on the busiest time to start to fill it in, then after all the chaos, traffic lights have arrived,a case of shutting the barn door after the horse has bolted.
Surprise surprise the barbecue summer has been cancelled, the hot weather never arrived and now the forecasters are saying August will be unsettled, oh not like July then!
Anyway the rain eased up today and we did manage to get a walk up to Moss Eccles, we have had a few nights being grounded.
