Schools out!

Friday was a relative quiet day.  With no guests in or out went down to Bakewell early so had the rest of day to get on with things.  My old laundry was knocked down so it was a bit noisy at time.  Having took a lot of stuff to Buxton yesterday I was able to do some more tidying up and I put some stuff on Freecycle. Spent some time on accounts and preparation for tomorrow.  After dinner we went to Buxton as we had preview tickets for the Great Dome Art Fair at the Dome.  There were some interesting products on display.  We came back via Hartington where we stopped at the Youth Hostel as there was a beer festival so had a half pint and listened to the live band as the sun set on the Derbyshire dales.  Saturday of course was busier.  Six cottages out with six back in to our peak district cottages and one staying foe a second week.  Three cleaners up and no problems encountered.  Most guests were away by 9.30 so an early start was made on cleaning whilst I nipped down to Bakewell for the Farmers Market.  It was the 10th anniversary and there were cameras there too (from Channel 5 I was told). Chris had to cut the grass for the first time in weeks.  Andrews neighbours on the Over Haddon side have started their second silage, but they did their first one quite early. Andrew will probably do his second silage in a couple of weeks depending on the weather.  Five cottages arrived between 3 & 4pm, two have been before and final one arrived just before 5pm.  With the schools now out we had a number of families arrive too.  Cooked goat steak (from the Farmers Market) for tea, it is very much like beef.  Took the dogs out for a late evening walk, it was trying to drizzle.  All being well we will go for a walk tomorrow.  The first for a few weeks.
