Wednesday was forecast to be a fine day with isolated showers at our Bolehill Cottages near Bakewell (see link). Wednesday was also Ashover Show which a lot of locals enjoy going to including all our cleaners.  This meant Chris and I said goodbye to the couple who have been here for just over two weeks then we cleaned the cottage!   Two arrivals expected but luckily not until later in the day.  This gave us the opportunity to have an early lunch then head over to Ashover ourselves.  On the way we noticed the heather was starting to come out on Beeley  Moor so we will have to do a heather walk soon.  Going in the afternoon meant we avoided the morning queues and drove straight into the car park.  After an hour or so crowds thinned out as the early arrivals went home leaving later arrivals like us more space.  We had a good wander round the fields checking out all the machinery, food and craft tents and the competition tents.  Like the Bakewell Show there were cattle and sheep shows, dog and horse competitions but unlike Bakewell no rows of shopping tents.  Despite the crowds we bumped into our cleaners who were enjoying the show as well . I managed to have my ice cream before the isolated shower arrived! Like the Bakewell Show later in the day vendors in food tent were selling off their wares so naturally I picked up a couple of bargains.  Back home in time for guests arrivals, first just after 6pm and second just after 7pm.  Enjoy the photos.   Thursday was a quiet day. No departures or arrivals so time to catch up from the last few days.  It always amazes me where the days go.  Went down to bakewell to get provisions for the next few days.  Forecast had been for a wet afternoon but it held off until much later in the day giving our guests another fine day.
