Sunday was a bright and breezy day at Bolehill cottages (see link).  Three departures and one arrival later in the day with cottage already cleaned.  For us it was a day of paperwork including tax returns.  Guests arrived about 3.30.  In the evening we went to Buxton to the Opera House to see the Tenors Unlimited a trio of tenors who were quite entertaining.  Monday started dull but brightened up during the day.  No departures or arrivals but one cleaner up to catch up from Sunday.  After lunch we drove over to Belper to look at a suite then coming back we stopped at Wirksworth as we haven’t been there for a while.  We had a walk round the town and the church.  The church is Grade 1 listed and is notable for its Anglo-Saxon carvings in particular a coffin lid that is now mounted on on of the walls inside the church.  It is also one of the few remaining churches in the UK that performs a “clipping the church” ceremony in which the parishioners hold hands and form a ring around the church once a year.  In the evening Chris went to the Bakewell Photographic Society and after a chin wag with my sister on the phone I caught up on some TV programmes I had recorded for me!
