the annual inspection

After a wonderful sunrise Monday turned a bit overcast in the afternoon.  One cottage out with one arrival and one cleaner up.  Guests arrived about 4pm,  they have been many times before so we had a good chat before they settled into the cottage.  We abandoned the dogs in the evening with Chris going to the Photographic Club and me heading off to Over Haddon for the Village Hall Committee Meeting. Tuesday was supposed to be wet but it stayed dry until late afternoon.  Discovered in the morning that the cows had gone back across the road on Monday, usually they go back later in November,  and that the sheep would be arriving shortly, usually they arrive early in December, and the next thing we knew some sheep arrived in the front field.  One cleaner up in the morning to carry on with the cleaning of the cottages vacated in the last few days and later in the afternoon one cottage arrived.  They have been before. Most of the afternoon went in my annual inspection by the Quality in Tourism Inspector.  Pleased to say everything was fine and she was impressed with the standard of cleaning too!  In the evening we went to the Bulls Head in Monyash for a meal as I never feel like cooking after I have had our inspection.
