Friday gave us a hint of autumn at our self catering cottages near Bakewell (see here). Compared to Thursday we saw temperatures barely into the teens and the first day with rain in nearly two weeks. Time to put the sun dresses away for another year. One departure but no arrivals with one cleaner up. With a busy Saturday ahead found time to get some advanced preparations done and also down to Bakewell which I thought was quieter. Over the summer I usually take the dogs for a walk in the evening but with the nights definitely drawing in Friday was the first night I let them go out without me. So the busiest Saturday we have had for a long time finally arrived. Six cottages departed with one further cottage moving cottages and seven cottages due back in. Three cleaners up and with a number of cottages away by 9am cleaning got off to a good start. The forecast had been for showers but they held off giving Chris the chance to cut the grass. Cleaning finished by 1pm and after lunch I finished my checks in the cottages by 2.30. Four cottages arrived between 3 and 4pm, two have been before. One cottage arrived about 4.30 and final two just after 5pm, one has been before. With most of the cottages now in for the week I am hoping we can get out and about this week. Finished the day by watching the Last night of the Proms. This to me signals the end of summer so hello autumn. Just got round to reading last Sundays travel section from the Sunday Times and they had an article on how busy Snowden was at the Bank Holiday and they offered some quieter alternatives including Chrome Hill in the Peak District!
