Sunday stayed a cold and dreary day at our peak district cottages and finally I caught up with the accounts.  Chris has been doing some work on the web site.  Apart from going down town to get the paper it was a quiet day although at times we felt surrounded by the sheep who enjoyed using the fence as a scratching post.  Monday started dull but brightened up although it remained cold.  The tree surgeon came back with his team and finished the felling work including one of the trees behind the cottages, it is strange to have a gap there.  Otherwise it was more like a usual Monday morning, two cottages out, laundry man, bin collection and cleaner up to start getting ready for arrivals later in the week.  In the evening we abandoned the dogs as Chris went off to the Bakewell Photographic Society and I went off to Over Haddon for another evening of indoor bowls.
