I had been looking forward to Saturday at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here) as it was the Farmers Market and Bakewell Food Festival. Two departures and two arrivals and cleaner here while I was down in Bakewell. Had a wander around the Farmers Market after which I had a look around the food festival. A lot more stalls than last year and it was getting busy by the time I left for home. Cleaning finished by midday and after checks had an early lunch. A few showers from lunchtime onwards and we stocked up on logs in between showers as we are expecting some cooler weather. First guests here at 3pm and second ones here at 4.30, both have been before. Finally completed the VAT return so now I can think about starting this quarters accounts. Initially the forecast for Sunday was wet and cold it turned out dry sunny and cold. One departure after which we went down to Bakewell to get the paper. We had a wander around the Food Festival with the dogs and there were a few different stalls and a few new ones compared with Saturday. It was warm in the sun (but cool in the shade) so we came back via Over Haddon to have coffee at the Garden Tearoom but they were closed. The rest of the day went in housework for me and Chris did some outside painting jobs. Monday was another sunny day with blue skies and a cool breeze during the morning but it clouded up in the afternoon. One departure and one arrival with one cleaner here. A number of bookings and a disrupted lunch (three times) as laundry, rubbish and post all arrived within a few minutes of each other much later than usual. Cottage arrived at 3.30. Chris spent the day on various jobs around the vacant cottages and I spent time doing the first draft of the prices and dates for next year as we are already getting enquiries.
