Spring slides away

Tuesday remained spring like at Bolehill and with less of a breeze it felt warmer.  One departure and one cleaner up.  Took advantage of no arrivals to go out for a few hours.  Had thought about a short walk but risk of showers had appeared in the forecast so we had a little drive out to Castleton where we had a wander around.  As it was sunny and warm we couldn’t find a place to eat lunch outside with the dogs as all the tables were taken so we headed to Hassop Station for lunch via the agricultural stores at Brough where Chris picked up some weed killer.  Back home I found a little more time to plant out some plants and tidy up as rain was forecast for Wednesday.  Wednesday started dull and dump but it brightened up in the afternoon.  One cottage out and I headed down to Bakewell to get some provisions for the next few days and get my hair cut.  A quiet afternoon and in the evening I collected Joanna and Lynne for the latest WI meeting.  May’s meeting always sees the voting on the resolutions to be tabled at the National AGM. We also had a speaker, a local lady, well known in the area, who spoke to us about the voluntary double mastectomy she fought to get many years ago as she was convinced breast cancer ran in the family after the death of many close female relatives.  With medical advances, particularly in genetics, it has been discovered the females in her family carry a faulty gene that results in breast cancer so her daughter has had the operation too.  She was instrumental in setting up a national helpline for hereditary breast cancer. Thursday was more autumnal with over half inch of rain in the afternoon and evening.  One departure and one cleaner up.  One arrival about 3pm and spent the afternoon on accounts.  In the evening I went to Over Haddon again this time for the Village Hall AGM.

I wonder what they are discussing.
