Sunday was supposed to consist of heavy showers but we did not see a drop all day, doesn’t help when Chris has put some weed killer down that needs watering in.  Did a recycling run down to Bakewell when getting the paper but the rest of the day went in working through a list of things to around the house.  Monday was another beautiful day although we did have a shower at 3.30 am.  May has been dry, only .22 in rain so far this month and only 7.56 in rain this year, not much more than we had for the whole of November 2009!  Three cottages out of our dog friendly cottages with four back in later, one has been before.  Two cleaners up and no problems encountered. First guests arrived just before 3pm but then the remaining three cottages all arrived at 4.30pm!  As it was still so nice we drove to Over Haddon and had a walk along Lathkill Dale and back stopping at the Lathkill Hotel for a drink.  We dropped the dogs back home then went down to Bakewell and tried out the new bistro, Le Mistral.  We had a nice meal so we hope the business succeeds.
