Monday remained mainly dry with a few light showers later in the day. One departures with one arrival later in the day.  Usual Monday routines.  Although their was much talk about the last few weeks it does seem strange that the Olympics are all over.  I had to laugh when I got a flyer in the post about the Torch Relay with a money off voucher, don’t know where that’s been hiding the last couple of months!  On Tuesday I went to Buxton to do some cleaning.  Had planned to leave the dogs behind but Blue had other plans and snuck passed me with Smudge following behind so I let them come with me.  Cleaning finished Chris and I ventured down to Spring Gardens with the dogs for a spot of lunch in the warm sunshine.  Then I left the dogs with Chris whilst I had a quick wander round town then a trip to Morrisons before collecting the dogs and retuning home.  I was back just before 5pm but found no cars at our peak district cottages.  Everyone was still out enjoying the good weather.  Wednesday was cloudy in the morning but wet in the afternoon producing nearly another half inch of rain. One cleaner up and one arrival about 5pm. A fence man was installing a new fence at the top of our drive field.  The grass is now very long and Andrew will let the cows back in when the fence is finished.  Noticed one of Blue’s eyes was a bit inflamed.  In the evening I went to the village hall for a short meeting about Hallmark 2 status.
