Friday was another fine day at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here). A breeze lowered the temperature but it remained dry. Off first thing to Bakewell to get my hair cut and get provisions for the weekend. Two departures and no arrivals and one cleaner here to keep up with cleaning. Chris spent a lot of the day on gardening duties including grass cutting, strimming and weed killing. Some cows were moved back into the front field. I spent most of the afternoon preparing the empty cottages for Saturdays arrivals. Little Cowden Farm have managed to cut the
hay and Andrew was hoping to start a second silage this weekend but everyone is too busy. They started the second silage at Lynne’s. Saturday started fair but turned cooler with showers in the afternoon. Two departures and six arrivals with one cottage still here for another two weeks . One cleaner here and with a lot of the work already done the remaining cleaning and checks were completed by lunchtime. This gave me the afternoon to catch up on emails. First cottage not here until 3.45, then four more arrived at regular intervals until 5pm, two have been before and one
was last here before we arrived. Final cottage here at 7pm, an Italian couple who are here for two weeks and for the fourth time! At least it brightened up again in the evening. Sunday was forecast to be sunny and warm and although it started cloudy it did brighten up but the sun really didn’t materialise until later in the day and the breeze kept the edge of the temperature again. Nevertheless after getting the paper we went to Chatsworth Farm Shop to get some picnic items. A quiet day but I got my picnic later in the day over at Kirkdale even if the sun did play hide and seek!
