Monyash Well Dressings

IMG_9894_1Friday 27 May was a pleasant spring day at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here) and for once it looked like the weekend would be nice.  Had anyone told the weather it was a Bank Holiday Weekend?  Three departures and one arrival with two cleaners here. With early departures all cleaning and checks completed by lunchtime.  Made the most of the nice afternoon by making a start on planting out my purchases from Thursday.  The hanging baskets are also ready for collection.  Cottage arrived about 5pm.  A disturbed evening as the cows seemed particularly troublesome as they managed to break through the electric fence twice and we needed to get Andrew up to round them up.  Discovered the electric fence had short circuited so that was fixed.  Saturday was a busy day. Down to Bakewell first thing for the Farmers Market which was busy.  Back home to three IMG_9896departures and five arrivals with two cleaners here.  A lovely day weather wise, warm and mainly sunny.  All cleaning completed before lunch and final checks completed just after lunch.  Chris cut the grass again. Andrew is starting silaging on Sunday, the earliest he has silaged for a number of years, and you can already see where this is happening in the far distance. Additionally they will be shearing sheep at Little Cowden Farm on Sunday so it’s all go!  A rush of arrivals between 3 and 3.30 saw four cottages arrive, three have been before. Planted in some more plants. Final cottage arrived at 5pm, they have been before. Then we headed to Monyash as the well dressings had gone up.  Even though it was late in the afternoon it was still busy.  Must have been the nice weather.
