It’s been very dry so far in August at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here).  Thursday was forecast to be wet later on but it stayed dry until later in the day but we never saw the sun at all.  Down to Bakewell first thing to get provisions for the weekend.  Back in time for coffee with some of our guests. One cleaner here and a cottage arrived just after 3pm.  A day of catch up jobs.  Friday was the wet day we were expecting but we were also expecting thundery showers but luckily for the dogs they never materialised.   No departures or arrivals so another day of jobs around the house, gradually ticking off the summer jobs!  After coffee we went down to the agricultural merchants in Bakewell to get some bits including a new pair of wellies for me!  I now have a blue pair so we can tell whose boots are whose!  After that we went to the electrical warehouse in Buxton to pick up some items. A quiet afternoon which included some preparations for Saturday.  In the evening we went to the Lathkil for a summer evening (!) of Tapas and Sangria.  It was supposed to be held in the garden but on one of the worst nights of the summer it was held inside instead.  We went with Andrew and Joanna and there were others from the village there too.  Saturday was a far better day, mainly sunny but fresher.  Six departures and four arrivals with three cleaners here.  With cleaning under way by 10am everything was completed by lunchtime.  Chris cut the grass, not that it has grown much.  Two cottages here by 3.30, one has been before, with next one at 4.30 and final one at 5.15, both have been before.  In the meantime I did some accounts.  Sunday was another fine day with a lovely sunrise and some warm sunny spells.  No departures but one arrival here just after 3pm with cottage already cleaned.  As usual for a Sunday some housework and some down time, we all need some of that!
