Bits and pieces

IMG_4514Tuesday was a mixed day weather wise at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see link).   The photos show the mist starting to rise on Tuesday morning when I took the dogs out for their walk.  Three departures and one arrival and one cleaner up.  Plenty to do in the morning and after lunch I went down to Bakewell where I met one of our former cleaners for a coffee and a chat.  I then got some provisions for the next few days before heading home.  By now it was raining.  Guest arrived at 5.30. IMG_4513 Wednesday again was cold and wet.  No departures but two arrivals and one cleaner up.  After checks were done Chris and I headed to Macclesfield to get some bits for Buxton.  It was really murky over the Cat and Fiddle and I was reminded that the Road Safety Foundation have named this road as the most dangerous in the UK.  Additionally there were two others in Derbyshire in the top ten and we use them both! IMG_4512 We stopped at Arighi Bianchi, the furniture store, for lunch at their cafe before heading to the various places we needed to go to.  We could have stayed and wandered round the shops but it was too cold and wet.  By the time we got back both cottages had arrived, both have been before, and I had phoned them on Tuesday night to let them know we might be out.  Thursday was a fine day, sunny and dry in the morning, so after a quick trip down to Bakewell to get provisions for the weekend I spent a few hours outside tidying up and started to plant some of the spring bulbs.  Had planned to spend more time outside in the afternoon but after an hour there was a shower so I came back in and got on with some housework.  Still I managed to plant about a hundred bulbs with another two hundred to go!
