Bolehill in its autumnal setting

Tuesday was a cooler overcast day with some showers at our Bolehill Cottages near Bakewell (see here). Aim of the day was to complete the WI accounts and get them signed off before posting them to the auditor.  This was achieved by 4.30 which included a trip into Bakewell to see the President.  During the day there was one departure and one arrival at about 4pm.  Cottage already cleaned.  The Bakewell Photographic Society used the games room in the afternoon to select photos for a competition so Chris spent some time with them.  Wednesday 15 October got off to a murky start but brightened up and felt a bit milder.  In the morning I went down to Bakewell to post the WI accounts and tax returns and get some provisions for the next few days.  The afternoon went on paperwork, mainly Bolehill accounts so I can finish last quarters accounts to complete the VAT return.  One arrival here just after 3pm.  Cottage already prepared.  Thursday was a lovely mild day.  One departure and one arrival and one cleaner up.  As we hadn’t been out for a while I suggested lunch out. We headed over to Hassop but it was busy so we drove round to Edensor where we were able to sit at a table outside in the sun. We had taken the dogs with us too. After lunch we walked up to the churchyard and went to find the Dowager Duchesses grave. Hard to believe it was two weeks ago that I was here for the funeral.  Home via the farm shop and back in time for guests arrival.  They have been before.  Reconciled the last of the accounts from the last quarter and checked figures so we can finalise the vat return over the weekend.  Some preparations for the weekend which looks as if it could be quite mild.
