A busy weekend

Friday started misty but it soon lifted even if it clouded up again by lunchtime.  One cottage out with three back in and one cleaner up.  After she finished I went down to Bakewell to get provisions for the weekend. First cottage arrived about 4pm, they have been before.  Chris went later in the afternoon over to Matlock to get the projector used by the Photographic Club recalibrated.   While he was a way I went through my baking store cupboard as I still haven’t baked my Christmas cake yet.  I am hoping I will have time after next week.  Second cottage arrived about 7.30 with final cottage arriving at 9pm, they have also been before.  We then sat down and watched the Michael Portillo Great Continental Rail Journey where he travelled from Budapest to Salzburg. It brought back many memories of all the holidays we had in Austria before coming here and it made me want to go back again as the last time we were there was to witness the eclipse of the sun. The heaviest of the rain passed through during Friday night so despite the initial forecast Saturday was mainly dry and bright.  No departures but two arrivals both arriving between 3 and 3.30.  Another day of odd jobs and I found some time to potter in the garden doing some tidying up.  The hanging baskets have lasted well again at our peak district cottages but we will take them down soon.  A cold evening so got the fire on for Smudge so he could keep warm!
