Hartington well dressings

Sunday dawned bright and breezy at our Bakewell cottages.  There are still plenty of mushrooms in our fields and one of the cleaners was up here early picking some as was one of the lads from the building merchants in Bakewell. There was even enough for me to pick some for the evening.  A quick trip down to Bakewell to get the paper and did some recycling.  A few hours to spend around the house and do the final checks on a cottage before our next guests arrived just after 3pm.  They have been before.  We then drove over to Hartington as it was their well dressing week, and it is the last local one of the season.  There was a craft fair too, but Chris waited outside with the dogs, and we called in at the cheese shop too.  As usual the village was busy with walkers and visitors but as the crowds began to drift away we had a late afternoon tea at the little tea shop before heading home and phoning a friend to wish him happy birthday.
