For the end of October it was pleasantly mild.  Sunday was breezy too.  Had thought about a walk but woke up with a bit of a cold so had a quiet day.  That is after getting the paper, recycling and paying this quarters VAT bill!  Took the dogs for a walk around the fields to get some fresh air and luckily nobody tried to phone our peak district cottages when the last episode of Spooks was on.  Monday had a nice sunrise, sorry no photos, and was a busier day with three cottages out and three back in.  One cleaner up and usual Monday routines.  Chris also cleared the courtyard and car park of leaves in advance of any rain during the week and also used the mower to clear the lawns.  Cottages arrived about 4pm one has been before. Tuesday was a catch up day and with our next anniversary approaching of our arrival at Bolehill there are many things up for annual renewal so had some more bills to pay too!  Went down town in the afternoon to get some provisions for the next few days and with a friend arriving later in the week made sure she has a tidy room to sleep in. Should be able to take advantage of the continuing good weather in the next few days.  Noticed we still have plenty of mushrooms, Andrew says its the best year for many a year and have discovered that it is legal for anyone to come and pick the mushrooms, even without my permission, providing they are for personal use only.
