A full weekend (almost)

IMG_5144With a busy weekend ahead at our Bolehill cottages (see here) I decided not to go to Bakewell on Friday but defer it to Saturday. Two departures and five arrivals and one cleaner up so a busy morning although a couple of cottages were already prepared.  More crockery in cottages and Chris continued in Derwent.  Matters complicated by the fact that some cottages were not going to arrive until much later and for once we were out for the evening.  Three guests arrived by 6pm with remaining ones later in the evening, we had left instructions although one had been before.  After dinner we headed to the village hall for the latest offering from the Live and Local circuit performers. Tonight we had a one man show entitled Man with Foot in his Mouth (written by Saul Bellow) which was quite entertaining.  All guests in by time we got back.  A disturbed nights sleep with Blue waking me up so I could take them out at Smudge had diarrhoea, at least I was able to get him out in time.  Unfortunately by the time we got up Smudge was obviously not well and we decided to take him to the vets.  Here he was given some antibiotics and other items to help with fluid loss.  Chris left me in Bakewell to get provisions while he went home with the dogs.  In instances like these I walk up to Yeld Road by the church and he picks me up but I couldn’t get a mobile signal so I had to  walk back down to town and popped into the builders merchants to phone home as no one there could get a mobile signal either.   So I had to walk back up the hill for the second time for Chris to pick me up.  We came back via one of a cleaners to drop off some DIY tools.  Back home and final checks and last of crockery into cottages with cottage arrival just after 3pm, he has been before giving us a full house bar Derwent.  In the evening we shared a Chinese take away with one of the cottages who come regularly and had a good natter as well!
