I was hoping the bad weather would stay to the south of our peak district cottages on Friday but it didn’t.  So on Friday we got another half an inch of rain just as the ground was starting to dry out.  One cottage out and one back in with one cleaner up.  Went down to Bakewell later in the morning to get provisions for the weekend and heard that Costa Coffee had been refused planning permission for a coffee shop in Bakewell.  Bakewell shop keepers are delighted.  It still leaves us with an empty shop but no more outdoor shops or coffee shops please as there are already 47 places in Bakewell to buy a drink!  Guests arrived just after 9pm.  Saturday was a dry day although there were showers in the area.  Three cottages out and four back in and two cleaners up.  With early departures cleaning was completed by midday (it had started by 9am).  With time available we went to Buxton to check on progress of our project and whilst standing in the garden a Spitfire flew over.  It was also Buxton Carnival day.  On the way back we stopped at the Flagg tea room and had lunch and were still back in time before the first guests arrived.  Two cottages arrived at 3pm, one had been before with a further cottage at 4pm and one at 5pm, both had been before.  Time for some accounts and a nice enough evening to enjoy a little walk with the dogs.  Hoping for a longer walk on Sunday.
