Thursday was another pleasant day at our peak district cottages although there was still a chill in the air.   A busy day for phone calls and emails but I found a few hours to go over to Buxton to see how things were getting on.  Back in time for the arrival of two cottages.  One has been before and both here by 4pm.  In the evening we went out for a meal with one of the couples staying in the cottages.  We went to Felicinis in Bakewell and had a enjoyable evening.  Friday saw two departures with one arrival and one cleaner here.  Cottage arrived about 3.30 then spent some time on accounts.  Saturday saw one further departure with another arrival and one cottage staying for another week.  One cleaner up to turn round vacated cottage and change bedding in second cottage.  Took dogs for their usual walk but stopped to talk to one of the guests and when I turned round I could not see Blue.  I carried on with Smudge thinking Blue would join us but when I got home he had not returned.  I saw a group of walkers on the footpath and caught up with them but they had not seen him so off Chris went and came back with Blue.  He had got all the way to Magpie Mine!  Needless to say he was in the doghouse for the rest of the day.  Cottage arrived about 5.30 having been delayed by bad traffic en route.  In the meantime I had got up to date with this months accounts and found time to think about a walk for Sunday as the forecast was promising..
