Friday was actually quiet with no arrivals or departures.  In the morning we went to Buxton and I had a browse around the shops.  In the afternoon I did some preparation for Saturday including tidying up and replenishing leaflets in the leisure area.  I also did some accounts.  Saturday was the busy day with seven cottages out and back in and one staying on for another week.  One cleaner together with a relief cleaner and an ‘apprentice’ to help too and with an early start all cleaning and checks were completed by 2pm.  Time for lunch before guests arrived with four cottages arriving between 3 and 4pm, one has been before, and the remaining three arriving between 5 and 6pm.  All have been before.  Weather wise Saturday was disappointing.  Although it remained dry it was dull and cold.  Sunday was a nice contrast with warm sunshine.  A bit of cow moving in the morning helping Andrew move the youngsters into another field.  The grass is not growing and there is not enough to bring the more cows over to this side just yet so that means eating into stored feed.  In the afternoon we both spent some time in the gardens tidying up and I also spent some time in the greenhouse.  Some nice weather is forecast for the week ahead at our peak district cottages. About time too!
