Wednesday saw the departure of one cottage from our peak district cottages. Helped Chris down with the last of the outside lights but otherwise the day went in jobs around the house and cottages. Have been cleaning throws and cushion covers and some curtains. Also took a number of bookings. On Thursday one of our friends arrived for a few days. I had spent the morning doing housework but also with the handyman up and doing some work in one of the cottages I took the opportunity to wash the curtains in there. In the evening we went to the Red Lion at Litton. There is still a lot of snow along the road sides and we still have snow lying in the lee of some walls. More cold weather is on the way.
