The cold weather returns

IMG_8699Monday was a fine but cold day at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here).  No departures but one arrival and one cleaner here to keep up with cleaning.  Jobs around the cottages for me including hemming some new curtains for Lathkill. Cottage arrived just after 3pm.  After an early tea Chris went with friend from Ashford to Matlock to see a presentation by one of the Bakewell Photographic society members.  I went off to Over Haddon for indoor bowls.  A good evening topped off with me leading  the scoreboard.  Tuesday was another fine sunny day and with less wind it felt like a little bit of  spring in the air.  Two departures but no arrivals with a cleaner here to keep up with cleaning.  Handyman here too and he and Chris did some outside jobs.  Down to Bakewell early afternoon then more work on curtains.  Wednesday started with a frost and and mist in the dales.   No departures or arrivals and the morning went in jobs around the house and cottages.  In the afternoon we went to Buxton and we did a Morrisons shop.  A number of bookings later in the afternoon.  There was a slight dusting of snow first thing Thursday and most of that went when the sun reached it.  Another sparkling morning with one departure and one cleaner here.  Jobs around the house in the morning then collected by Joanna and we went to the Ashford Arms.  Here we met up with the ladies of the Over Haddon WI for lunch and had a pleasant few hours chatting as well as a nice lunch.  It had clouded up by the time we got back home.  Friday was a quiet day, cold and cloudy with a few bright spells.  One departure but no arrivals with one cleaner here, so the day went on jobs around the house and cottages including hanging up some curtains in Lathkill.  The forecast is for a cold weekend but no more snow forecast.  Yet.
