Monday 8 December

A busy day with three cottages out and one back in. Another bright start but the remaining snow felt softer today. Usual Monday chores and one cleaner up to do a couple of cottages. The chance to start making sure all odd jobs have been done before Christmas. Guests arrived just after 3pm. By now it had started to drizzle. Chris went off to Buxton to get some maintenance supplies and it was raining there. Did some paperwork before dinner, which was a roast, as well as phoning a friend. After dinner did some accounts and sat down for the final episode of Spooks while I started writing Xmas cards.
