Monday 25 July was a bit cooler but dry until the evening.  One changeover and Chris watered and fed the hanging baskets which were looking very good.  The afternoon went on accounts.  Tuesday started fine but clouded up in the afternoon with a few light showers.  No changeovers and in the morning we went to Buxton to do some shopping.  The afternoon went on paperwork.  Wednesday was a mild day with some sunny spells.  Andrew’s neighbours were silaging.  Hay making has been taking place locally and there is a regular procession of farm machinery going up and down the road.  A busy morning with phone calls and the afternoon again went on paperwork.  One arrival and departure.  Thursday had the worst forecast of the week for weather so I opted for a shopping day.  We haven’t been to Junction 28 (M1) for a while so we headed there via Lea Gardens where we had coffee and cake.  As we drove down Via Gellia we saw they were getting ready for the Y Not (music) Festival at Pikehall.  Madness were one of the acts performing at the weekend.  It was dry but overcast at Lea Gardens but by the time we got to the shopping center it was raining.  Back via Matlock later in the afternoon where we stopped and had a look around the new M&S food hall.  By the time we got home it had brightened up.  Friday was overcast and damp.  Down to Bakewell for banking and shopping.  Departures but no arrivals but cleaning took place and most of the day went on tidying up and preparing for Saturday. Saturday was a hectic day with numerous departures and arrivals and probably the busiest Saturday of the year.  Three cleaners, one regular, one new and one relief cleaner here but everything got done and was ready by the time guests arrived.  A sunny mild day and Chris cut the grass. Sunday was a pleasant and quiet day with one arrival and a lovely evening to take Smudge out for his walk in the back fields.
