Power was back on by the time we got up at our Bolehill Cottages (see link), not sure what time it came back on but Andrew had to start milking with the generator to be safe. Saturday saw six departures and six arrivals and three cleaners up. No problems encountered and cleaning and checks finished by 2pm in time for a late lunch. First cottage arrived just after 3pm then it was quiet for an hour. Four cottages then arrived between 4and 5pm, three have been before including an Italian couple here for the third time and staying for more than a week. Final cottage arrived just after 6pm. We have a number of dogs here this week including a couple that are showing at the Bakewell Show. When I took the dogs for their evening walk I noticed there were some mushrooms in the fields. Haven’t seen those for a couple of years. During the day Andrew started his second silage of the year with a local oat field being harvested first then the cutters proceeding to Andrews fields. They were still cutting late into the night. Sunday was expected to be dry with a few showers but they seemed to start from the off. Silaging had started early as they wanted to finish by the evening. We called in to the farm on the way back from buying a paper and had a look at how things were going. I also had a look at a cow with sunburn, it didn’t look in distress although the skin looked nasty and was peeling off, apparently it was caused by a hormone deficiency. I also had a look at one of their latest arrivals, a Montbeliard calf, it was cute. We had thought about going to the Cromford Steam Rally but the weather put us off so had an at home day and also went out to see how the silaging was getting on. Another arrival during the day too. Later in the evening Lynne dropped some bits off for our WI entry at the Bakewell Show as we are having a meeting at our place on Monday regarding our entry.
