On Tuesday we went to Chesterfield and were out most of the day by the time we had a wander round Chesterfield itself as well.  Mainly stocked up on cleaning materials from Bookers and some DIY bits from B&Q.   Managed to get 120 toilet rolls, two garden chairs and two large rolls of roof insulation with all the other bits in the Scenic! What a wonderful car it is for shopping!  On Wednesday morning discovered a casualty from the windy weather with a part of a tree that had fallen into one of the fields.  Andrew said it was down on Tuesday although I don’t remember seeing it.  Luckily it hadn’t fallen on one of the cows! A day of catch up jobs before heading off to the WI in the evening.  The speaker kept the laughter going with her talk on ‘love and marriage’ and for our competition we had to bring along a picture from our wedding so we could guess the year.  Thursday was possibly our last taste of summer with a fine day.  Our Business Banking Manager called first thing for one of our regular chats.  With one cottage out one cleaner was up and I popped down to Bakewell to get provisions for the weekend.  It was nice enough at lunchtime at our peak district cottages to sit outside and a number of our guests did just that.  Chris went to his digital photography in Over Haddon and our new guests arrived about 3.30.  They have been before.
