Transcription Notes
After breakfast walked along the Buchanan road (pronounced Buck- hannon) and called on Mrs Bertha Bryant, daughter of Mrs Gross, and Mrs Sinclair. The former sang me several rather good songs including a nice version of True Lover’s Farewell. Mrs Sinclair like anyone in these parts knew the songs well enough but didn’t sing herself. We did not go out again in the afternoon as we were both feeling a bit leg-tired after our somewhat strenuous exertions. Happily the weather has been lovely, warm but not too warm, fine for the most part but usually a thunder shower in the evening. This place is 2800 feet up, very beautifully situated, but awfully damp — the dampest place I have ever lived in. Clouds constantly envelop the Peaks and sometimes us at the hotel as well. Crowds of people arrived here in the evening, most of them going up to spend the night on the Peak where there are 2 or 3 cottages to house them. They are a terribly noisy rowdy lot and it is a relief when they have gone.Location
