I had been worrying about Monday because after a busy weekend at our Bolehill
cottages near Bakewell (see here) Monday was a busy day. Five departure and four arrivals and two cleaners here. With early departures cleaning was quickly under way and apart from a few minor maintenance jobs cleaning and checking was complete by lunchtime. The weather was mixed with sunshine and showers but the forecast is better from Tuesday. Between arrivals found time to keep up with accounts. Two cottages here by 3.30, one at 4.30
and final at 5.15, three have been before. Tuesday started dull but brightened up and warmed up during the day. No departures but one cleaner here to keep up with
cleaning. The morning went in odd jobs for me and Chris spent the morning with the Tuesday handymen tidying up in the gardens and more log splitting. In the afternoon I went to Sainsburys in Matlock. Later in the afternoon we went to Youlgrave to see the well dressings which were excellent as usual. As it was a nice evening we stayed and had a meal at the Farmyard and we
sat outside in the sun with the dogs. We enjoyed our meal. Wednesday was a warm and mainly sunny day. Ideal day for a power cut! This power outage for most of the day was the rescheduled one from just after Easter.
All guests had been advised on arrival and again on Tuesday night. The power went off just after 9am and was back by 4.45. During the day Western Power were checking the overhead electric cables in the area and some tree men were also here to lop some branches close to power lines. I made the most of the day to do some indoor jobs while Chris was mainly outdoors weed spraying and strimming. He also helped round the cows up for milking. One arrival here just after 6pm.
