Friday 5 February saw the start of a busy weekend at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here).  One departure with three arrivals and one cleaner here.  Down to Bakewell first thing to get provisions for the weekend.  A dull but mild day with rain arriving later in the evening.  Finished preparations for Friday’s arrivals and also spent some time on preparations for Saturday’s arrivals and jobs in vacant cottages.  First cottage here just before 4pm with second one arriving just after 7pm and final cottage here at 9pm.  Saturday started wet and it rained and rained all day with over an inch of rain falling and it was very windy in the afternoon.  There was a warning for wind but not for rain even though we had the wettest day for a very long time.  One departure and two arrivals but cottages already prepared, just had to do final checks.  Had planned to do some housework but ended up spending most of the afternoon pruning files.  Thought after twelve years here it was about time I did it.  Both cottages arrived just after 3pm, both have been before.  Sunday was a fine day on the whole with long dry sunny spells but feeling colder.  Three departures but no arrivals.  After collecting the paper from Bakewell checked on the vacated cottages and took Smudge for a walk.  It was lovely to see the sunshine after the wet Saturday.  Overall a quiet day with some bookings and jobs around the house.  Also stocked up on logs.  Later in the afternoon the wind picked up again and it started raining yet again.
