A trip on Thursday afternoon to Buxton to get some provisions for the weekend including some of those M&S meal deals. As it was nice in the evening we managed to eat al fresco.  Friday saw one departure and one cleaner up at our and a chance to get one cottage ready ahead of Saturday. Chris also managed to replace the shattered window without any problems.  The day started fine with rain forecast later in the day and luckily it didn’t really start until much later in the day so this weeks guests have had a really nice week.  Well it is July after all!  One of our cottages has been here for the well established Buxton Festival with its Fringe being described as ‘the warm up to Edinburgh’.  There is also an annual Gilbert & Sullivan Festival in August and we will have guests staying here at our cottages near Buxton. On Friday evening we joined the Buntings and their Over Haddon’s neighbours and friends for an enjoyable meal at the Lathkil Hotel to celebrate Fay’s graduation.  She is also lucky to have secured a job with Morrison’s so we wish her luck for the future.
