Staying in a cottage in the Peak District. Beautiful place but the Wifi and phone are 
virtually non existent. The wifi break will do me good

I don't remember any internet access in Peak when I was there , but was neat 50 years ago.

The internet speeds in the villages where I live used to be so poor that we got together, formed a community project and built our own. We now have the fastest broadband in the country, 1Gig! Www.b4rn.org
Of course once we had built it along came BT and brought their version into the village as well using public money. Not sure who they think they are kidding since it is only 30 Meg. So much for wise use of public money, they could have better spent it in the Peak District.
What is does show is the power of working together using volunteers, it is a great project take a look at the website. Only downside is I don't get so much time turning wood as I am turning earth. ( digging!)

Must have had 2-3" of rain in the last 2 days it's like sitting in a cloud up here. Ah well hopefully should be able to watch the F1 this afternoon. Only 5 more days and I can back to my shed for a bit.
