Tuesday started a lot brighter but breezy. Had planned to spend some time in the gardens and greenhouse later but that never happened. One cottage out with two back into our peak district cottages later in the day. One cleaner up to clean two cottages. A quick trip down to Bakewell to stock up post holiday weekend. Was noticeably busier. Today was also the day of Flagg races and although we were offered tickets we could not go. At least it was dry. I was also contacted by the Tourist Office who were able to fill my remaining vacancy for the next few days. More signs of spring as I noticed some sheep and lambs have been let out into the fields and a few fields away towards Monyash a local farmer let his cattle out of the winter barn for the first time and it was nice to see them gallop about and get used to being outside again. The three cottage arrived between 3&4pm. Wednesday was the first day for a while with no-one in or out but with a better forecast for tomorrow a walk will have to wait until then. A bit showery in the morning so a chance to catch up on some outstanding paperwork. Its amazing how many returns we have to fill out for different organisations. With the election having been called we learnt today that the Conservatives have done Holiday Cottage Owners a favour (without being in power yet) by getting the proposed Furnished Holiday Lets tax changes dropped as a part of ‘bill bargaining’. Some good news for a change. In the afternoon we went to Buxton. We called in at Markowitz before a quick walk around the town centre and then down to Morrison’s. After dinner it was my turn to host the WI committee after which I sat down and planned tomorrows walk.
