Friday 11 July was another fine day at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see link). Two departures and three arrivals with two cleaners here. Another pleasant weekend was forecast and I headed to Chatsworth to get provisions for the weekend later in the morning. First Guests arrived just after 3pm. They are from Holland and are the first of many Dutch guests over the next few weeks. Second arrival was here just after 5pm, they are here for the Pride and Prejudice Ball at Chatsworth, complete with costumes! Final arrival here just after 7pm, they are here to do the the White Peak Walk, an annual walk that starts and finishes in Monyash. Nice enough to eat al fresco. Saturday saw four departures and three arrivals and two cleaners here. Another warm day and cleaning finished before lunchtime. Two arrivals here by 4pm, one has been before and final cottage here just after 5pm,
they were last here many years ago. It clouded up by the evening but was still nice enough to eat outside. We watched an aerial display over Haddon Hall, the Hall was closed for the weekend and is usually closed for one weekend in July (for family purposes). Rain had been forecast for later in the day and this arrived after 8pm. Sunday had seen a forecast of showers but it wasn’t too bad in the end. One departure and one arrival but cottage already cleaned. A quiet day finding time to relax as well as doing some housework. Not warm enough to eat al fresco though. Cottage arrived at 3pm. Monday saw one departure and two arrivals with one cleaner here and I went down to Bakewell first thing to visit the market. Another pleasant day and arrivals here just after 3pm then 5pm. Both have been before. A busy evening and good weather looks set to continue.
