Tuesday was forecast to be a wet day but in reality the rain didn’t materialise until the evening giving our guests a full day to enjoy themselves.  For me I went down to Bakewell in the morning and in the afternoon finished off some accounts from the last quarter.  On Wednesday I pottered around the house trying to sort out belongings, this summer I would really like to have a good clear out but so far have managed few hours here and there.  Chris disappeared down to the Village Hall for a few hours as they are still sorting out the telecommunications.  A storm in the afternoon freaked the dogs out, Blue disappeared into the downstairs loo again!  In the evening I collected Joanna and we went to the WI Presidents house in Bakewell for our monthly committee meeting.  On Thursday morning Chris and I took a few hours off and went to Matlock.  We are looking for a new kitchen table and with a selection of shops and manufacturers in Matlock it was a good a place as any to start.  We also had a little stroll through Hall Leys Gardens in the centre of town which had just celebrated its centenary.  They were looking very nice. We had lunch out then came back home and after a quick check on emails and phone calls went down to Bakewell for a haircut and get provisions for the weekend. When I came back Chris was helping get the cows in (with Smudge) as Andrew and Joana had gone to Fay’s graduation ceremony. A quiet evening in catching up on blogging! Here’s a nice picture of a rainbow taken from our peak district cottages.
