Monday saw a foggy start at our Bolehill Cottages near Bakewell (see here) but the sun soon got to work on it and by mid morning we had wonderful sunshine.  Three departures (all had been here for a week) and one arrival with two cleaners here to keep up with cleaning.  A busy Monday though with rubbish and laundry collections and I did some more updating of guest guides.  Chris did some painting jobs in vacant cottages.  Guests arrived at 4pm.  In the evening I went to the village hall committee meeting and Chris set up the projector for the Photographic Society although he didn’t stay for the meeting.  A nice sunset as I drove to the hall.  Tuesday 21st April was a glorious sunny warm day.  Blue tried to join a couple of guests for breakfast and left a trail of wet footprints across their kitchen floor but that was soon sorted.  My plan had been to do WI accounts (I still have some to finish from the old WI) in the morning and go to Sainsbury’s in the afternoon.  Instead I opted for odd jobs in the morning including washing some door mats to dry in the nice weather and pottering in the garden in the afternoon.  I also went down to Bakewell to get provisions for the next couple of days.  Chris and handyman spent the day on outside jobs. The first hot air balloon of the season passed by the back of us early in the evening, luckily the dogs did not spot it.  Later I collected Joanna and we went to the Bakewell WI where the speaker was the Manager of the Bakewell Show so we learnt a bit about its history and what goes into putting on the show.
