If it’s Bank Holiday Sunday then it must be Bakewell Secret Gardens.  Sunday started dull but brightened and warmed up in the afternoon at our cottages near Bakewell (see link).  First thing down to Bakewell to get paper then with one departure and one arrival later in the day Chris and I turned the cottage round.  After lunch we drove down to Bakewell and was surprised to be able to park in one of the main car parks.   This year the open gardens were mainly in the centre of Bakewell and the Milford area but we also came across the Alpacas below the Monsal Trail.  We had time to make a cake stop at the Nice and Naughty Coffee shop next to Costa Coffee.  Whilst wandering around I overheard a conversation that indicated I wasn’t the only one caught out by the Farmers Market being next Saturday, that made me feel better!  Back home and guests arrived just before 7pm.  At least more good weather is forecast in the days ahead.
