First thing Saturday morning I headed down to the Farmers Market.  7 cottages out with 5 back in.  One cleaner with relief cleaner and apprentice as my other regular cleaner had a previous engagement and my other relief cleaner was lucky enough to be at the Chelsea Flower Show!  To their credit the team worked well and with no problems encountered, and with an early start again cleaning was finished by 1.30.  Time for lunch and final checks.  2 cottages arrived between 3 and 4pm and 3 between 4 and 5pm.  When Chris took the dogs out for their final walk about 11pm he called me out as there was a glow on the far hillside towards Chatsworth.  We got out the binoculars and when I looked through I could make out that there was a large fire on the moors.  Could even make out blue flashing lights.  Chris went back inside and looked on the Internet and there it was, pictures of a fire on Beeley Moor.  It was on the local news on Sunday and although there was no loss of human life the scale of the fire had resulted in a loss of wildlife and habitats. See report   Sunday was not as breezy as Saturday so felt warmer at our peak district cottages.   After taking dogs for their walk called in to see Andrew and Joanna en route to get Sunday paper just as a calf had being born prematurely in the field.  After having loads of dogs last week we had none in this week so Andrew has let some into  the paddock area to chomp down the grass which means the guests in Derwent get to see the cows very close up! One cleaner up to clean a cottage that was required for arriving guests later in the day.  They have been before.  With  a number of returning guests the afternoon went in chatting to guests and some gardening.  Chris strimmed the verges at the bottom of the drive and even cut the grass again as it seems to have put a spurt on in the last few days.  Had thought about going for a picnic in the evening but in the end ate al fresco.  Good weather should hold for a few more days.
