Friday was a sunny day at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here).  No arrivals or departures. Down to Bakewell first thing to get provisions for the weekend.  A catch up day as well as preparations for Saturday’s arrivals.  Chris did some watering and feeding of plants and baskets again.  Saturday was a warm sunny day.  Five departures and six arrivals but one phoned to say they would now not arrive until Monday due to sickness.  Two cottages here for a further week.  Three cleaners here and with some early departures cleaning was under way by 9am so all cleaning and checks finished by lunchtime.  As usual on busy changeover days Chris and I helped out with bed making.  Chris cut the grass.  A rush of arrivals at 3pm with final cottage here by 3.45, two have been before.  As it was still so nice I made some salads and we decided on a picnic.  We haven’t picnicked at Chatsworth Park for a while and when I checked on the website I realised their gardens were open for the evening so we headed to Chatsworth with the dogs and a picnic.  We had a walk around the gardens first, they are already getting the sculptures ready for the Beyond Limits exhibition so we had a preview of some of them.  Not often we see the gardens in high summer.  We enjoyed our picnic with a violin trio playing in the rose garden.  A lovely evening to end a busy day.  Sunday was also a fine day.  We invited one of the cottages over for coffee which we were able to enjoy on the patio.  Later one of our cleaners called in on her way to a walk along Lathkill Dale.  Otherwise a quiet afternoon with plenty of warm sunshine.  Enjoy Saturday’s photos.
