Another weekend bites the dust

Saturday arrived bright and breezy and with some early departures cleaning got quickly underway with Chris and I helping with making beds.  Luckily no problems enountered and with a few showers Chris was not able to cut the grass.  Everything ready in time for guests arrival and one of those days where most guests arrived about 3pm.  Luckily with one exception all had been before so Chris and I were able to see to everyone as they arrived. In the evening we went to Over Haddon Village Hall for a concert by the Bakewell Silver Band.  We missed them last year when they performed in the Church.  They enjoyed the new hall with a spacious stage and we enjoyed their concert!  Sunday was supposed to start wet and brighten up at our our peak district cottages but it brightened up very quicklt so we decided to have an early lunch and go for a walk.  Lunch was freshly picked mushrooms on toast!  They are still growing.  We set off for the White Ladies car park along the A6 near Taddington to walk along Monsal dale to Monsal Head but just as we go to the car park the heavens opened.  We sat there for about 10 minutes then Chris asked ‘what is plan B?’  Home.  Except we diverted to Ashford and called in at some former guests who now live in the village and chatted for a few hours over a cup of tea.  The final series of Spooks strted in the evening which we recirded as I was chatting to my sister on the phone.  I shall miss it.
