A pleasant weekend

IMG_0031_1Friday 3rd June was more like what it should be for June at our Bolehill Cottages near Bakewell (see here).  A sunny mild day with no departures but two arrivals and one cleaner here. Down to Bakewell first thing to get provisions for the weekend and back in time for coffee where we were joined by the architect who has done work for us over the years. All cleaning and checks completed by lunchtime.  Both cottages here just after 3pm, one has been before.  As usual on a Friday afternoon I paid the bills that had come in during the week.  An early dinner then down to Over Haddon for a brief meeting of the village hall committee.  Saturday was a warm and at times muggy day even though there wasn’t much sunshine.  Five departures and five arrivals with two cleaners here.  With a couple of early departures cleaning was underway by 9am and all cleaning and most checks completed by lunchtime.  Final checks completed by 2.30.  Chris cut the grass.  Four arrivals between 3 and 3.30pm, two have been before.  Final cottage held up with car problems and arrived at 5pm, they have also been before.  In between these arrivals caught up on paper work.  Andrew’s neighbours have been silaging and it looks like the weather will hold for the next week.  Sunday was more or less wall to wall sunshine and warm as well.  No arrivals or departures.  Down to Bakewell and called in at Little Cowden Farm on the way back.  Jobs around the house and garden during the day and later in the afternoon we packed up the rucksacks and headed towards Sheldon where we stopped for a picnic at one of our favourite spots and made the most of the nice end to the day.
