A quick round up of our Christmas. Last guests arrived in our peak district cottages on Christmas Eve. Our friends arrived on the Tuesday, went to Buxton on Wednesday and Thursday went to Chatsworth for a short walk. Had hoped to get some nice pictures of Chatsworth House in the snow but the fog and mist spoilt the effect! We walked from Carlton Lees car park to Edensor hoping for lunch at the tea room but it was closed, so we walked back and had lunch at the Chatsworth Garden Centre. Christmas Day was sunny but cold and some of the snow had gone revealing some greenery but also a slurried field with the footpath to Over Haddon under it! With our friends back playing up a walk was out of the question so we drove to The Bulls Head at Monyash for a pre dinner drink. I cooked a rib of beef for dinner. On Boxing Day we went to Carsington Water for a short walk as the weather was still holding. Hopefully I can find one or two pictures to upload in the next few days. On Sunday our friends went home and one cottage departed so one cleaner dropped in to make a start.
