Sunday was bright and breezy but a little cooler. One cottage departed today and with none returning I was able to spend some time in the garden as planned. After walking the dogs we went down to Bakewell to pick up the paper and do the recycling. Chris spent some time painting benches and planters whilst I relined my hanging baskets, tidied up the greenhouse, repotted a few plants and made a list of what needs replacing. Now I need a trip to a garden center! Monday was disappointing weather wise. Having been able to hang washing out for the last few days it was back to indoor drying. Three cottages out with five back in to our peak district cottages and two cleaners up. No problems encountered and all done before first guests arrived just before 3pm. An hour later the remaining four cottages all turned up within a few minutes of each other so got Chris involved in showing guests in! One cottage has been here before. Combined with emails and bookings and usual Monday events it was a busy day.
