Friday started of cold but sunny and we were expecting another fine day at our Bolehill cottages (see link) but by lunch time the drizzle had extended further north than expected.  I had hope to go out and plant more bulbs but I ended up doing housework instead.  One departure and one arrival and one cleaner up.  Cottage arrived just after 4pm. Paid this months accounts and got the fire going for Smudge, something I expect I will be doing a lot more over the next few months.  Saturday saw two departures and two arrivals and one cleaner up.  Mixed day weather wise but it got off to a cold start and we heard about a few accidents locally due to black ice.  Cottages arrived between 3 and 4pm, both have been before.  We had a couple of hail showers during the afternoon and it stayed on the cold side.  Rounded off the day with some baking.  Some belated local news in that the River Lathkill emerged from the cave on the 18th October and was in full flow a week later.  A few weeks ago a car crashed into one of Andrews wall, we never heard it even though it was in the evening.  The driver drove off but took herself to the fire station to be cut out of the car.  Andrew is getting the wall rebuilt as it means the cows can’t use the field until he does.  Won’t be long now and we should be getting the sheep in our fields, so long as they done eat my bushes this year I’ll be happy.
