Friday was another pleasant day at our peak district cottages with just a few light showers.  One departure with one arrival and one cleaner up.  Down to Bakewell to get provisions for the weekend. Spent some time in the afternoon feeding the hanging baskets and plants and checking on the garden areas.  Also did some preparations for Saturday as it was going to be a busy day.  Have been dipping in and out of the Olympics over the last few days and now the athletics have started will probably watch more.  Nice to see we are wining some medals.  Cottage arrived about 7.30pm they have been before.  Saturday started dull and drizzly but it soon brightened up.  Said goodbye to seven cottages and hello to the three cleaners.  A number of small odd jobs for me and Chris to see to including for Chris a drain that was sluggish.  Needed to wash his overalls after that!  Then he went off to cut the grass. Glad the weather improved as I needed to wash a throw too, and it was back on the bed before guests arrived.  Still glad of the laundry room first thing so I could use it to dry all the bath mats and towels etc.  Few the last few weeks we have had a number of overseas guests so there have been plenty of towels to wash.  This week we have Italian guests as new arrivals.  Two  cottages arrived between 3 and 4pm, one has been before, a further two between 4 and 5pm and final one at 5.30pm.  Fish and chips for tea then sat down to watch some Olympics.  What an evening!
