Monday saw one departure and one arrival and one cleaner up at our peak district cottages.  Usual routines and handyman also here to finish as many indoor jobs this week as possible.  In the evening we abandoned the dogs with myself heading to Over Haddon for indoor bowls and Chris down to Bakewell for the Photographic Society.  Tuesday was a pleasantly mild day, didn’t even need my hat and scarf when walking the dogs.  One cleaner up to continue cleaning.  I started work on a pair of new curtains that needed re hemming in the morning and in the afternoon went to Buxton to do a big shop at Morrisons.  On Wednesday morning I would have liked to have taken the dogs out before it rained but the drizzle started earlier than expected.  One cleaner up and I managed to sew and hang up the new curtains.  One cottage in today, they have been before, arriving about 3pm.  Had a chat with one them later on in the day as it has been a few years since they were last here.  A number of bookings over the last few days has been promising but we did have a cancellation due to redundancy as well and we wonder how many more we may have.
