Wednesday was a day of potting and pottering as I called it.  No guests in or out of our peak district cottages for a couple of days.  Wednesday was forecast as a nice day so I washed another duvet, I’ve washed 3/4 of them now.  Chris did a number of odd jobs and we put the last of the hanging baskets up. Started planting out the remaining plants in the troughs and potted on a few plants.  In the afternoon we could hear that the cutter had starting silaging in Andrew fields.  The contractors have a new mower this year which is bigger than the previous one.  In the evening went to Joanna’s for the WI committee meeting.  Another warm day on Thursday but with our shopping list growing we did a Sheffield run.  First stop was Makro followed by B&Q and Dunelm before heading home.  By now the rowing machine and collectors were out in the fields and the cutter was in the fields behind us.  After tea we took a walk across the fields to watch the action just as the collector got jammed up.  Took a number of pictures which will appear shortly.  I was in one of the side fields with the youngsters who were inquisitive and I was sure one was trying to eat my skirt!
