After enduring the evening quite pleasantly in the dark with the help of some well placed candles we trotted off to bed sure in the expectation that the house would be bathed in light at sometime during the night when the power came back on.
Alas no, with burgler alarms wailing and ringing their merry tunes for most of the night it was 5.35 before we had a spark of electricity. It then went on and off a number of times before 6.15 when it seemed to stabilise. We have had power since then although i noticed when i drove to Matlock that there were a couple of areas still without any power.
The cause was a fire/explosion, It depends which story you read, in a sub station just amile or 2 away at winster. We are being treated to an Indian meal out in Matlock later by a couple from close by Winster so will no doubt get the full tale then.
So here I sit at the top of the garden watching the sun sinking swiftly towards the valley rim opposite hoping that the lights will be on when we get home tonight. Make mental note to take head torch to dinner out!
