It seems like ages since we have had a big turn around on a Saturday at our peak district cottages but this was the first of the many to come this year.  Five cottages out and five cottages back in.  Three cleaners up and no problems encountered.  Chris hasn’t had to cut the grass for a couple of weeks but with the recent rain we now have a green and growing lawn, but the day was too showery to cut the grass.  Everything ready by lunchtime and a steady stream of arrivals between 3 & 4 pm saw all cottages in.  Two have been before.  After an early tea we went to Buxton to see the play Absurd Person Singular (by Alan Ayckbourn) at the Opera House.  This was our WI Theatre evening and we all enjoyed the play performed by the Buxton Drama League.  Sunday stayed cloudy and cool with some drizzle.  Some of the guests went to Chatsworth House to see the Horse Trials.  I spent a lot of the day in the greenhouse and finished planting up the hanging baskets and also planted up some troughs.  I am hoping for milder weather later in the week so I can do more outside.  For a break later in the afternoon we went over to Great Longstone to see the flower festival in the church following which we walked down to the village hall for a cup of tea and piece of cake!
