Monday was a relatively quiet Monday at our peak district cottages.  Two cottages out with one back in and one cleaner up.  Time to do some extra cleaning tasks.  Monday was also another bright and sunny but cold day so on went the fire in the afternoon.  Cottage arrived just after 3pm, they have been before.  In the evening Chris went off to the Photographic Club again and I had a quiet evening in catching up on some recorded programmes that I like (but Chris doesn’t!).  Tuesday was a bit more dismal again and with no arrivals or departures and Chris not at Buxton he treated me to a day out at Junction 28.  I enjoyed my bit of retail therapy and after Junction 28 we came back home via IKEA. Chris survived the experience! Wednesday was another fine day, a little milder and a lot sunnier.  For me it was a day of catching up after Tuesday and preparing myself for the evenings WI committee meeting at Joanna’s.  For Chris it was a case of fixing a central heating valve, probably disturbed with all the work he did at the weekend.  One cottage arrived about 3pm, they have three collies.  It had already been cleaned.  Hope you like the picture, the leaves are nearly all off the trees now but we do have a number of ash trees.  I am hoping they wont be affected by this die back fungus but only time will tell.
