Unlike Sunday, Monday was worse than initially forecast at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here).  Rain on and off for most of the day and no sunny spells.  No departures but one arrival with one cleaner here.  Usual Monday routines and cottage arrived just after 4.30.  Tuesday was a better day with one departure and one arrival and one cleaner here.  A number of odd jobs before cottage arrived just after 3pm, they have been before.  Nice enough to sit outside for a cup of tea in the afternoon.  Later I collected Joanna and we went to Bakewell for Septembers WI meeting.  Our speaker was a local photographer who gave us an interesting slide display of the Isle of Mull.  Wednesday was initially forecast to be very wet and windy, an amber warning was in place, but during the day the forecast changed and in the end we did not see any rain and it turned into a nice day.  A morning spent on accounts and mid afternoon Chris dropped me off in Bakewell as I was going to the Rutland Arms Hotel for afternoon tea.  Wednesday was WI day and across the country hundreds of WI’s were having an afternoon tea or similar to celebrate 100 years of the WI.  An enjoyable afternoon was had by all.  Thursday was a bit disappointing weatherwise as I was hoping we might squeeze a short walk in but the afternoon was quite overcast with a few passing showers.  One departure and one arrival and one cleaner here.  Went down to Bakewell late morning to get some provisions for the weekend.  After lunch we went to Chesterfield for a couple of hours to so some shopping.  Would rather have gone for a walk.  Never mind.  Back before cottage arrived at 7pm.  The sun finally came out just when taking Smudge for his evening stroll.  Typical.  We have been having some nice sunsets recently.
