Someone in Bakewell has a sense of humour!

No further snow fell over night and Chris measured 3 inches at our peak district cottages.  Took the dogs for their usual morning walk but couldn’t find much to photo that I hadn’t done last winter and Chris cleared pathways and the bottom of the drive so guests could get out and about.  Went down to Bakewell to get the paper and took the cameras which was just as well as there was more snow in Bakewell than we anticipated so we had a walk around town with the dogs taking some pictures.  We thought we would go to Chatsworth for coffee at the House as they have opened the restaurants ahead of the House opening in March.  We stopped near Edensor where families were already making use of the slopes before heading to the House.  As they wanted £2 to park we turned round and went to the Farm Shop where we could park for free and have the same coffee!  From here we took a round about way home via Over Haddon, Magpie Mine and Monyash so there are some pictures of quiet lanes, snowy scenes and the entrance to Lathkill Dale as well as sheep ad lambs.  To see the gallery of pictures follow this link. When we got back home the sheep had moved to the front fields and the sun was melting the snow on the drive where Chris had put the salt.  Some bookings in the afternoon from previous guests who were taking advantage of snow in their areas to plan their holidays.  Hopefully we will get some more bookings this way too in the next few days.
