Monday 30 November was a busy day at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here).  Two departures and one arrival and one cleaner here.  Have changed laundries so a new man collected laundry.  Also picked up a replacement table for one of the cottages so we did a bit of furniture moving as well as popping down to the market.  Cottage arrived just 4pm, they have been before.  In the evening I went to indoor bowls in Over Haddon and Chris went to Bakewell Photographic Society.  Tuesday was a fine mild day.  No arrivals or departures but one cleaner here to keep up with cleaning.  Tuesday handyman here and he and Chris put up the outdoor Christmas lights.  I did some jobs in vacant cottages and planted out some more bulbs while it was so mild.  In the afternoon I went to Sainsburys in Matlock to stock up for staples over the Christmas period.  I had planned to go for a walk on Wednesday but woke up with a sore throat.  It was a mild but breezy day.  Chris did some jobs in the vacant cottages and I did some extra laundry and put up our own Christmas tree.  Normally ours gets done last.  Thursday got off to a damp start but it brightened up mid morning.  Another quiet day and I got ready to go to my sisters for the weekend.  Down to Bakewell in the afternoon.  Two weather warnings were issued for the weekend here but I was in Watford leaving Chris in charge until I returned on Monday.
