Friday was yet another dry day although mainly cloudy at our peak district cottages.  Four cottages out with three back in and two cleaners up during the morning.  No problems encountered and everything ready in time for guests arrival.  First cottage arrived about 3pm with the remaining two between 4&5 pm, both have been before.  At least Saturday was sunnier.  Got the phone call I have been waiting for just before 9am when Joana phoned to say the cows were about to be let out so rushed down the field with my camera and although I took a few pics it was still quite hazy.  So now our green landscape is dotted with black and white!  Three cottages out with three back in and two cleaners up.  A couple of problems for Chris to sort out but hopefully he has fixed them.  He also cut the grass again.  Two cottages here between 3&4 pm, one has been before, with final cottage arriving about 5pm.  One of the existing cottages had a balloon ride booked for this afternoon from Tissington and not long after their planned take off we could see two balloons in that direction.  There was also two taking off from Rowsly so the dogs had something to bark at!  After dinner I took the dogs out for a walk.  Spring seems to have truly sprung this week.  Leaves are out on the trees, the hedgerows are green and there is the sound of baaing on the wind.  (Green Cowden has finished lambing and most are now out in the fields).  It was a lovely sunset, forgot to take the camera of course, and there was a full moon.  Also could hear a curlew and a pheasant, our resident pheasant was in the front field earlier on.  The forecast is for a few pleasant days so that’s nice for the guests who are here this week.
