Friday 9 August was a pleasant but quiet day at our Bolehill Cottages near Bakewell (see link).  No departures but one arrival and one cleaner up. A day of odd jobs including updating leaflets as I have had a new batch of leaflets for the rest of the summer.  Went down to Bakewell in the morning which was still busy from the show as a lot of the stands were packing up and leaving.  Also a lot of locals who had avoided the place for a few days were back shopping like I was!  Guests arrived about  5pm, they are from Australia, we have a real international mix at the moment.  I did some preparation for Saturday which was forecast to be the better day of the weekend. To start with the weather didn’t seen to have looked at the forecast as it started cool and dull on Saturday but it brightened up . Five departures and four arrivals and two cleaners up. No problems encountered and Chris had time to cut the grass before lunch. First guests arrived just after 3pm, then like last week there was a gap before the next guests arrived at 4.30 then remaining two between 5 and 6pm. Two cottages have been before including a German couple here for the second time. Another cool evening and it is noticeable that it is getting darker earlier.  Hopefully we will get another bite of summer before autumn arrives.
