Welcome to my new style of blog where I will sum up the events at Bolehill Farm in a weekly blog but will write special one off blogs as appropriate.

First I need to start catching up with this month.  During the week of 6th June we saw the fine weather continue.  With Tuesday being our day off we headed to Lea Gardens for our annual visit although we were a few weeks later than usual.  Nevertheless the gardens were still a rainbow of colours.  Whilst we were in the area we headed to Wirksworth as we hadn’t been there for a while.  We walked down to the station and had a look at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway which is a short heritage line between Wirksworth and Duffield. The line uses diesel trains and has recently been awarded a grant for further work to the rolling stock and a visitor center. We also managed to sneak a night away visiting our old neighbours in Hertfordshire, it was lovely to catch up with them.  The weather broke on Friday giving us a very wet day with some localized flooding in Bakewell and Monyash.  Saturday saw a busy changeover on a muggy and overcast day and although the weather wasn’t too bad by the end of the weekend we had had almost a months worth of rain in the previous few days.
