The anticipated nighttime thunderstorm did not arrive, although it did get quite windy and the rattling windows in the flat woke me 'asking' to be closed. So a sleep disturbed night for variety of reasons. Heavy rain did come about 8:30am but it did not last long. I watched it from the kitchen window while I got breakfast. Facilities are challenging with the sink and very small worktop adjoining the cooker yet the kitchen room is quite large. Most of the furnishing are vintage and the decor basic but the whole place is in need of TLC and a good bottoming; it is likely that it is not used often and suffers from neglect. There is a large bath with shower over and lots of hot water. However, the power to the shower was lost after I had had my evening shower!
I was in the sun house studio (photo above) by about 10am but visitors are not admitted until 11am. It was a warm and humid day, getting very hot at times in the glasshouse. There was a steady trickle of visitors to the studio and we spent time from our work chatting to them. A number were families with young children. now that the schools are closed for the holidays, and many were retirees. Some lived locally out for a day trip and some on holiday at the coast. One couple were from Queensland, Australia and were taking in this area as part of their UK and Ireland tour. Some of our last visitors were Italian teenagers staying in Hull.
The rain and the thunderstorms came late in the afternoon, trapping me in the summer house for 45minutes!
