Friday started dull at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here) and although it brightened up it wasn’t as warm as previous days.  Took my sister to Chesterfield Station first thing then came back via Bakewell where I was able to park without any problems.  Got the provisions for the weekend and drove the long way home (via Ashford) as the queue for traffic into Bakewell by mid morning was already past Newholme Hospital.  One departure and one arrival and one cleaner here.  Afternoon went in catch up work and chatting with guests and a couple of them made bookings for next year.  Chris went down to Bakewell to get some maintenance items and got caught in traffic which had been exacerbated by an accident.  Guests arrived about 5pm, they have been a few times before and were here for the National Bird Carving Competition being held in Bakewell.  Still managing to take the dogs out in the evening – just!  Saturday 13 September was a busy day with four departures and five arrivals and two cleaners.  With early departures cleaning was quickly under way and most was completed by midday.  After coffee I popped down to Over Haddon Village Hall as it was village show day and I had decided to enter the limerick category so took my entries down.  Wished I had taken camera to photograph the hall.  A number of minor maintenance jobs for Chris.  Elsewhere cow movement was going on and a late morning passing balloon got the dogs going.  Chris cut the grass after lunch and by 3.30 two cottages had arrived, both had been before.  A gap with next cottage here by 4.30 and final two around 5pm, one has been before. Had hoped to get back to the village hall for the auction of produce after the show, perhaps next year.  A late afternoon balloon got the dogs going again.  Last Night of the Proms so summer must be drawing to a close especially as I have noticed that the leaves are changing colour.
