It started nice and sunny again at our Bolehill Cottages near Bakewell (see here) on Monday.  Won’t be saying that for much longer by the look of the forecast.  One departure and one arrival with one cleaner here.  Usual Monday tasks as well as catching up from the weekend.  Made the most of the nice weather to do some extra washing.  Guests arrived just after 3.30.  Later there was one of those sunsets which gives a red hue to everything so I went out and took some photos.  Tuesday 29 July was a little cooler and more cloud was around.  No departures or arrivals and the morning went in a lot of those five minute jobs that keep getting put off.  After lunch Chris and I went to Chesterfield to do a Bookers run. After that we called in at B&Q and Dunelm before heading home.  It was looking ominous and we had some drizzle and the evening felt quite cool when I took the dogs out. Will have to put the heating back on soon at this rate!  Wednesday started cloudy but we had some late afternoon sunshine. Odd jobs again in the morning including some mat washing and the afternoon went in tidying up and checking board games in the leisure area and tidying up the area itself.  A chat with the Dutch guests who are leaving early on Thursday morning and they gave me a bunch of roses which was nice.  Thursday saw two departures and no arrivals but one cleaner here to keep up with cleaning.  A warm but cloudy start with the threat of thundery showers at lunchtime which didn’t materialise.  Down to Bakewell first thing Friday to get provisions for the next few days.  In the afternoon I got Chris to put some new curtain rails up in Sheepfold and I hemmed some new curtains for the twin bedroom.  It turned out warm and sunny in the afternoon so later we thought we would have a ‘sundowner’ but just as we sat out the clouds rolled in and then it started raining.  In an hour half an inch of rain fell and it thundered so we had two traumatised dogs.  Later it cleared up and when I took the dogs out for their evening walk we watched the mist rise from the dales but as I hadn’t taken the camera I didn’t get any photos.
