Getting jobs done

IMG_0203Sunday was forecast to be a wet day at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here)  but in the end the rain held off until later in the afternoon.  No departures or arrivals and on the way back from Bakewell called in Green Cowden Farm for a tea and a chat and to see the lambs!   Unfortunately they don’t sit still to have their photos taken!  Only one more to lamb then they have finished.  It was midday before we got back.  IMG_0197A quiet afternoon catching up on housework. Monday was another mild day with showers in the morning giving way to a heavier spell of rain in the afternoon and a clear evening with a cooler feel.  One departure and one arrival with one cleaner up and time for some more jobs in the cottages including carpet cleaning and inventory checking.IMG_0245  Time in the afternoon to finish the quarterly accounts at last.  Guests in by 4pm.  Chris out to the Photographic Society in the evening and I took the dogs for a walk and played around with the camera before settling down for the evening.  Tuesday was a sunnier but cooler day and dry enough for some of our guests to go for a walk.  One departure and two arrivals and one cleaner here.  After coffee I went down to Bakewell to get provisions for the next couple of days. Chris and handyman spent some time sorting out the garage come workshop and I can get to the freezer again!  They also did some tidying up and pruning in the courtyard.  Both cottages arrived between 3.30 and 4pm so had time for some other jobs. Even though it has only been a couple of weeks since the clocks changed I have noticed how much later it is before it starts getting dark.
