After a misty start Sunday 29 May was a fine day at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here).  More breezy than Saturday but pleasant nevertheless.  No departures but one arrival with cottage already prepared. Down to Bakewell for the paper before it got too busy and on the way back noticed that they had started cutting at Andrews on his side of the road.  This is the earliest start to his silaging for a few years.  A quiet day with jobs around the house and I planted in some more plants.  Cottage arrived later in the afternoon, they have been before.  In the evening we tried out the new Chinese restaurant in Bakewell and I am pleased to report we had a good meal.  Cutting continued well into the night, it is still quite light here at 10pm.  Bank Holiday Monday got off to a dull start and the cloud didn’t lift until lunchtime.  One departure and one arrival with one cleaner here.  Spent more time planting out and also some paperwork.  Cottage arrived at 5pm.  After dinner we went out to the back fields as by lunchtime they had started cutting (or chopping as it is called) on this side of the road.  We knew the guy operating the cutter and I got to ride in the tractor!  Tuesday stayed dull all day. No arrivals or departures and handyman here.  He and Chris tidied up the out buildings. Another day spent on planting out accounts.  I also spent time toing and froing watching the progress of the silaging as they rowed and collected on this side. Had a bit of rain late afternoon and silaging finished early evening.  Apparently Andrew is happy with the quality and quantity of the silage. Enjoy the pictures.
