WI & bits

Thursday and Friday disappeared in a combination of WI bits and jobs around the home.  With our WI holding a table top sale next Monday in Bakewell Joanna and I spent some time on Thursday afternoon having a look at the donations and pricing them up.  In the morning Andrew, Ian and Joanna had been rounding up the cows for fly spraying.  At this time of year the flies can cause ‘august bag’ or summer mastitis.  On the local news there were pictures of a number of hay fires all suspected to have been started deliberately.  Further south it had been raining quite heavily but it never got this far north.  I cooked some muffins in the evening as a trial run for baking more over the weekend as we can sell home baked food as well as bric a brac on Monday.  Down to Bakewell early Friday morning to get provisions for the weekend (including a BBQ on Sunday if the weather holds).  Some children found a dead bird in the courtyard which I think was a baby curlew.  Got some more bits ready for Monday as well as preparations for Saturday at our peak district cottages.  Its going to be a busy few days!
