A holiday Monday is just like most Mondays with arrivals and departure but no collection of laundry and rubbish.  Six cottages out with four due back in although one delayed their arrival due to illness.  Two cleaners up and no problems encountered. All three cottages arrived between 3 and 3.30pm so rest of afternoon to catch up on other jobs.  Tuesday was quite a pleasant day at our peak district cottages.  One cottage out with one back in and one cleaner up.  Had time to do some more potting up in the afternoon and some accounts too.  Cottage arrived about 5pm, they have been before.  Delayed cottage postponed arrival another day but subsequently cancelled.  Pleasant evening to take dogs for a walk, it was crystal clear.  Pity the forecast is for rain again over the next few days.  Wednesday got off to a dull but mild start.  One cottage out with one back in and one cleaner up.  The annual Tourism Conference was taking place in Buxton but we had decided not to go this year, but we did go over and have a look at the leaflet swap.  Despite the fact I thought I wouldn’t need any we did come away with a few bags worth. Back in time for guests arrival about 5pm, they have been before.  In the evening it was the Over Haddon WI meeting and I collected Joanna’s other neighbour to come along for the evening.  Like all WI’s nationwide May’s meeting was to discuss the resolutions tabled for the WI AGM later this month. After we got business out of the way we had a quiz then a ‘Jubilee Tea’ with some appropriate decorations and a natter. 

Don’t forget there is a new series on Chatsworth House starting Monday evening BBC 1 9pm.  Pity I’m going to miss it.  Thank heavens for Sky+.
