Monday was unusual in that we had no departures but one arrival at our peak district cottages who have been before.  Usual jobs but we went to Buxton at lunchtime to get a few bits and had lunch out and back in time to greet guests.  A bit cooler and dull but stayed dry.  Chris went out in the evening to the Bakewell Photographic Society and I had the evening in with the dogs.  Tuesday started a bit brighter with showers forecast during the day.  One cottage departed and one cleaner up.  I spent the morning catching up on WI accounts.  Ian came up early afternoon, just after it started raining and helped spread the gravel around the courtyard and car park with Chris doing the raking.  It still needs raking in places but the rain was getting heavier so they stopped.  We also collected a replacement washing machine for the guests laundry area and Chris installed that.  A lovely sunset and some guests went out to enjoy it.  There had been a threat of snow on Tuesday but this had slipped back to Tuesday night and the amount expected to fall had risen from a covering in places to more of a general covering.

Talking of weather here are the statistics for March:
Warmest day was 28th with highest temperature 18C on 27th which had the warmest night
Coldest day and night was 4/3 with lowest temperature 0.3C on 6/3
We had .29 in of rain (March 2011 was also dry with .52 in) with wettest day4/3 with .25in.
After that it didnt rain for nearly four weeks!
