Monday was a pleasant day at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here) despite the forecast.  After a dull start it brightened up and was quite warm in the afternoon.  No departures so Chris and I went down to Bakewell to the market and had coffee and cake at the Lavender Tearooms.  Back home in time for a cleaner as we were expecting one arrival.  Cottage here at 3pm so rest of afternoon went on catch up jobs and paperwork.  In the evening I went to Over Haddon for the Village Hall Committee meeting.  I always pick a seat so I can look at the view and I noticed it was a nice sunset and luckily so did Chris so he went and took some photos.  A cool night but a fine start to Tuesday.  A busy day with Tuesday handyman here and Phil from next door also here to help start work on some handrails in the courtyard.  One departure and one cleaner here and one arrival.  The weather deteriorated during the day and by 3pm, when cottage arrived, it had started to rain.  Afternoon spent on accounts.  Wednesday started wet despite the sunny forecast but it brightened up mid morning and turned into a pleasant afternoon.  Two departures and one arrival and one cleaner here.  A busy morning for phonecalls and emails resulting in some bookings.  Cottage arrived at 4pm.  Thursday was a pleasant day with a risk of an isolated shower but we never saw any.  Later in the morning we went to Bakewell to the dentist and also to get some provisions for the next couple of days.  Back and after a quick lunch collected Joanna and headed to Thornbridge Hall Gardens to meet up with others from Over Haddon WI .  The Gardens are open on Thursdays in the summer and we thought it would make a nice outing.  Luckily the weather held and we had a wander around the gardens finishing off with tea and cake!
