Friday was a nice day and with less of a wind it felt quite pleasant.  A complete contrast to Thursday.  With a number of cottages in for short breaks we had seven cottages out with just two back in to our peak district cottages later on in the day.  Two cleaners up to prepare those required for today and for tomorrow.  No problems encountered. A trip down town with Smudge and back for lunch.  Final touches completed just before both cottages arrived about 3pm.  So I potted on about 5 dozen geranium plug plants.  In the evening we went and watched the sunset again but too hazy for any good photos.  Saturday was a real lovely day and for the first time since last summer I forsook my usual walking coat for a fleece jacket.  It was hazy but the sound of birds singing away made it feel like spring was truly here.  One cottage out this morning with four back in.  Two have been here before.  Two cleaners up and only problem was a missing bin lid.  I put on my rubber gloves and went through rubbish bags to check it hadn’t been thrown out accidentally, this has happened before, but could not find it.  Luckily I had a spare bin.  A number of bookings this morning, perhaps the nice weather helped.  Chris cut the grass for the first time today as well.  Still no sign of the cows but Ian and Andrew have been out checking and repairing walls.  Another sign of spring is the groups of D of E walkers about.  I was amused by the group standing in the field adjacent to us ‘looking lost’.  Three cottages in between 3&4 pm with final cottage in about 5pm and a quiet evening in.
