Wednesday 18/7 said shopping in Chesterfield.  The forecast was pretty miserable so a shopping day fitted in fine but it turned into a pretty pleasant day at our peak district cottages.  By mid morning I realised that I was not going to get to Chesterfield.  The phone calls and emails were coming in.  Was it the appearance of the sun?  Or the special offers we had posted on our website?  I needed some food though so I went down town and got some provisions for the next few days and got my hair cut at the same time.  A last minute booking for the evening meant a cottage to finish off.  They arrived about 6pm. Took a short break in the evening by taking the dogs for a walk.  Finally finished about 10pm but at least the day had a number of bookings to show for it.  Thursday started damp but it brightened up although it stayed on the cool side.  A day to catch up after Wednesday and some house work too.
