Sunday was predicted to be the hottest day of the year and it turned out to be just that.  It had felt warmer on Tuesday with a breeze on Sunday taking the edge of the perceived temperature.  In the morning we went down to get the papers and whilst in Bakewell we went and admired the well dressings. Sunday went in a mixture of tidying up loose ends from Saturday and accounts for end of quarter.  In the evening I suggested a picnic at Lathkill Dale so we made our way to our usual picnic spot after which we had a swift half at the Lathkill Hotel.  They had just finished taking down the well dressings in the village.  Monday was still pleasantly warm at out peak district cottages and in the afternoon our friends, who normally join us at Christmas, arrived for a few days so we had a BBQ in the evening with some of the meat bought at the Farmers Market.
