To put things into perspective we have twenty changeovers in the next eight days at our cottages near Bakewell (see link).  Friday started wet with three departure an two arrivals and one cleaner up.  By lunchtime it had dried up and felt quite warm.  As it had dried up Chris went out and cleared more leaves from the car park.  After final checks had lunch then somehow the afternoon disappeared.  Did some housework and preparations for the weekend.  Guests arrived at different ends of the day with first guest just after 3pm and second one about 8pm.  It turned breezy and wet again over night.  On Saturday morning said goodbye to three cottages before disappearing down to Bakewell to the farmers market leaving Chris in charge.  Two cleaners up to keep up with cleaning.  No problems encountered and checks for arriving cottages done by lunchtime.  First cottage arrived just after 3pm and second one about 5pm, they have been before.  Time for some paperwork before a quiet evening.  Sunday saw two departures and three arrivals and one cleaner up and cleaning completed with assistance from Chris and myself.  Added to which there were a lot of clocks and timers to change with the clocks having gone back.  With the area on amber alert for high winds and comparisons being made to the 1987 storm (I lived through that) Chris did a lot of securing of outdoor items and took down most of the hanging baskets.  They have lasted well.  A busy afternoon with regular checks on the weather.  Guests all arrived between 6&7pm after which we went to the village hall for an evening of folk music by a trio called Lady Maisery.  They were nominated for a Radio 2 award last year.  An enjoyable evening of singing with a little bit of clog dancing and diddling thrown in for good measure.  It had been a breezy day and we went to bed wondering what would happen over night.
