The weather started to improve from Monday but still not nice enough to be described as summer.  One cottage out on Monday and one cleaner up at our peak district cottages.  With no cottages back in a chance to catch up on paying this months bills.  The post brought the paperwork for next years Peak District and Derbyshire Visitor Guide so we need to work on that and think about next years prices.  It’s one of those milestones in the year.  I have also agreed to place an advert in the next issue of Country Walking as it has a feature on the area.  We don’t do much paper advertising theses days but I always consider each approach on its merits.  I do feel sorry for some of the telesales staff who phone trying to sell advertising space but it is the same with all the approaches we get from Web Sites ‘inviting’ us to advertise with them.  Tuesday was spent doing things around the house including some housework.  On Wednesday I popped down to Bakewell to get some provisions and in the afternoon there was a lot of cow movement which meant Blue hasn’t go the run of the front field anymore.  We also had one cottage arrive.  In the evening we went to The Derwentwater Arms in Calver for a meal which was good as usual.
