For once we more or less had a Bank Holiday Monday to ourselves.  It was strange not to have any departures but final cottage arrived for rest of week later in the afternoon having delayed their arrival for a street party.  At least one of our guests was in the Jubilee spirit.  It’s always hard on occasions like this to know what to do as for all I know guests may be coming here to get away from the festivities.  In the morning we went to Monyash to see their well dressings but also annually on this May Bank Holiday they have their own market day.  It’s the first time we’ve seen it so another thing crossed of the the list of things to do.  We wandered around the stalls and had a look inside the church and I even had an ice cream! Home for lunch and it was pleasant enough to sit outside, a complete contrast from Sunday.  Chris cut the grass and later in the afternoon after the guests had arrived we went down to Ashford in the Water.  It is also their well dressing week and also the Church Flower Festival so we spent a pleasant hour or so wandering round the village before going home for tea.  Like many we watched the Jubilee Concert which we enjoyed.  We could have gone down to Over Haddon and watched it there and seen the beacon lit but as one of us would have to drive back so we enjoyed it all from our peak district cottages.  Could see the glow of the beacon when it had been lit and could also see from our elevated position some of the firework displays so I was happy.  Anyway plenty of pictures today so enjoy.
