At least we had our views back on Friday at our cottages near Bakewell (see here for details). It was a very mild day with sunshine and showers. Down to Bakewell first thing to get provisions for the weekend and back in time to see departing cottage. One cleaner up. Spent most of the day doing preparations for the cottages arriving on Saturday as well as housekeeping duties. Chris did some outside jobs. Cottage arrived about 8.30 pm. Saturday was another mild day with plenty of sunshine and saw three departures and six arrivals and two cleaners up. With prompt departures cleaning was finished by midday and checks finished by 1.30 as I had been able to do some of the work on Friday. Chris had a busy morning clearing leaves from the car park and the lawns as well as grass cutting. We also moved the new suite into a cottage and relocated the one it was replacing elsewhere. After a late lunch had time to catch up with emails before first guests arrived. A steady procession of arrivals saw all guests here by 4.15. Four have been before and one is here for two weeks, two were here for the second time this year (which was also the case last week) so we had plenty of catching up to do. Got a couple of bookings later in the afternoon and had a quiet evening in. If you are missing the Peak District and haven’t seen it recently here is the Peak District promotional video on You Tube. Count how many places you recognise! There is a TV advert in the offing too so watch out for that.
