I had a good Tuesday and Wednesday and so did Andrew.  They have done a third silage with cutting on Tuesday and rowing and collecting on Wednesday.  It was the first time for many years he has done a third silage, and although it has increased the overall total for this year, the quality is a bit poorer so it will be suitable only for the youngsters.  On Thursday I was out for most of the day leaving Chris and a cleaner to deal with one departure and two arrivals.  Chris was also kept busy with the builder and roofers.  For me I had a training day at Chatsworth House concerning green marketing and a chance to network.  Despite the forecast it remained dry until I left Chatsworth House and headed home via the Farm Shop.  It really rained hard driving home and at least it was the only interruption to the work on the extension.  Although for an hour or two it looked really threatening and there was the odd rumble which unsettled the dogs.  The first guests had arrived by the time I got back and the final guests arrived about 10.30pm.  Friday was cold and windy although it was quite sunny in the afternoon. One cottage out and one cleaner up.  Time went in making decisions about doors, windows, glass and measuring things but found some time to do some accounts and prepare for tomorrow.  Decided to sit down early and watched the program on the Highgrove Gardens so I know what I missed!
