Sunday was another warm sunny day at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here). Two departures and one arrival. Headed to Ashford to get the paper as we knew it would be busy in Bakewell but then we thought we would see how busy it was. As it was only 10am we managed to park in Bakewell and we walked round to the Show ground where L’Eroica was taking place. The last of the riders had just set off but there was plenty to look at and plenty of stalls. As I hadn’t taken a camera I couldn’t take any photos. Never mind, it is supposed to be on again next year so I will take pictures then. Back home, and after coffee, we turned a cottage round for the days arrival.
After lunch, al fresco again, we had a couple of hours relaxing and reading the paper.
The L’Eroica programme indicated a spitfire fly past at 3pm, either it didn’t materialise or it flew so low we couldn’t see it. Later in the afternoon we went to Monyash for an ice cream from the Smithy. Guests arrived just before 6pm and after dinner we headed over to Youlgreave to see the well dressings. Excellent as usual. Monday started warm and sunny and it felt warmer than the last few days. Three departures and three arrivals and two cleaners here. Mid morning I heard a car arrive in the car park and I assumed it was one of the guests returning from Bakewell market. I walked down
to the car park but did not recognise the guest, it took me a few seconds to realise it was my sister! She and her boyfriend had been away from the weekend and thought
she would drop in to see me as as they had been staying the other side of Leek and didn’t realise how close it was to Bakewell. Despite having a busy day we found some time to spend with them. Two arrivals here about 3pm with final one about 5pm. Two have been before. My sister left later in the afternoon and after dinner I went to Over Haddon for the Village Hall Committee Meeting. Monday also turned out to be the warmest day so far this year at Bolehill.
