Sunday was quite warm despite the predicted showers which never materialised until later in the day.  As usual a chance to catch up on things and for Chris to cut the grass.  He was suffering a little with a cold.  At lunch time one of the cottages went off for the afternoon but a few minutes later their car came up into the courtyard and it was obvious they had forgotten something.  The wife got back into the car and started to reverse except I could see that she wasn’t going to stop and in the next instant the car reversed in the area between Dove and Derwent where there are a number of potted plants and a bench and two trellis fences.  When the car came to a stop it looked as if it had been parked perfectly.  We rushed out expecting the worst but found a very shaken lady whose foot had slipped off the brake when reversing.  Apart from a couple of scratches to the bumper there was no damage to the car and oddly enough the car had literally swept up the bench and a number of pots with none broken!  Admittedly most of the pots are plastic but one had wedged itself under the car and the husband had to jack the car up to release it.  Relieved no damage done the guests eventually drove off to try and enjoy the rest of the afternoon.  Every season brings its delight with views from our peak district cottages.  At this time of year the late evening sun means we can make out Curbar and Froggatt Edges.  A lovely sunset lit up Stanton on the opposite hillside our peak district cottages so here is a photo.
