Thursday 26 June started sunny and warm again at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here).   One arrival but cottage already prepared.  Spent time feeding hanging baskets and chatting to guests as I did so.  After lunch did some accounts before we went down to help bring the cows in for milking.  By now it had clouded up and rain was threatening and it felt cooler.  Back in time for guests arrival.  They are here to do the dark to white peak walk which is a 27 mile walk from Hope to Bakewell over three days.  Friday was a lot cooler with more or less continuous rain.   Four departures and three arrivals and one cleaner.  Two arrivals here by 4pm, both have been before with final arrival about 7.30.  Had an early dinner so could pop down to Bakewell for a brief wine tasting at Hattersley Wines.  Saturday was even cooler than Friday.  Down to Bakewell first thing for the farmers market.  It is also the beginning of carnival week and well dressing in Bakewell so all the bunting is up.  Cleaning well under way by my return.  Three departures and four arrivals and two cleaners here.  Two arrivals between 3 and 4pm, both have been before with final two arrivals here by 5pm, they have also been before.  Sunday saw an improvement in the weather.  One departure but no arrivals and I spent most of the day doing jobs around the house.  It was quite pleasant later in the day when we went down to help bring in the cows again.  An improvement in the weather is forecast for the week ahead.  Monday was another better day weather wise. Three departures but no arrivals and a couple of days for cleaner to turn cottages round for next bookings.  Chris tested the repaired lawn mower and thankfully it worked.  Time chatting with guests as well as for some accounts, hard to believe we are already half way through the year and at the end of the second accounting quarter.
