Valentine’s weekend

IMG_8665Friday got off to a foggy start at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here).  No departures but three arrivals with two cleaners here to keep up with cleaning.  The fog gave way to a couple of hours of wet snow but luckily nothing settled.  Just as well as no snow or showers were forecast for the morning.  Plenty to do with final checks in arriving cottages and preparations for Saturday’s arrivals.  First arrival at 3.30, they have been before.  A couple of hours to catch up with paper work and house jobs before next arrival at 7.30 and final arrival at 8.15, they have been before.  Finally caught up with the first episode of the new X Files and with a new series of Heroes next week I’m in Sci Fi heaven!  Saturday saw no departures although with a confusion over dates one cottage nearly left a day early!  A smattering of snow here first thing but it soon went.  A bitterly cold day but it stayed dry.  Three arrivals in the afternoon with just final checks (and a few minor odd jobs) left to do.  First two cottages here between 3 and 3.30, one has been before and final cottage here just after 4pm, giving me the rest of the afternoon to do some jobs of my own.  Sunday was a sunny but cold day for Valentine’s Day.  No breakfast in bed for me as we had three departures to deal with.  Down to Bakewell to get the paper then a quick check of the vacated cottages.  A quiet afternoon with some housework and bookings but no arrivals.  A weather warning indicated we could be in for snow overnight into Monday but luckily nothing materialised.
