Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday followed a similar pattern at our peak district cottages.  Washing and ironing of soft furnishings and other jobs around the cottages.  We are getting there with the list of jobs to do.  Found some curtains on the Internet so bought those and with buying ceramic hobs have discovered you need a special scraper for burnt on bits so bought that too.  Chris has been doing some on line shopping too so there will be a few deliveries arriving over the next couple of days.  Thursday also saw work start on some trees but the wind was too strong to work on one particular tree as the branches needed to be lowered by rope rather than dropped.  Chris’s presentation last Thursday went well and as the usual presenter could not make it this Thursday Chris took the session even though he was a bit croaky.  Although it has stayed cold the hard ground has gone from crunchy to squelchy and its back to paw washing for the dogs.
