Friday 5th August was a warm and mainly sunny day.  Three departures and two late arrivals. Down to Bakewell which was busy with clearing up from the Bakewell show well underway.  At home there was a mass break out of cows from one of Andrew’s fields when a gate was left accidentally open.  With cars behind them they set off for Monyash but luckily they were diverted into another field.  Chris went to help Andrew bring them back with me remaining at home on standby but I wasn’t needed. This was only the second time since we have been here that a number of cows have gone AWOL.  Later in the evening more broke out from another field when they were spooked by some local fireworks but they were eventually recaptured.  A  lovely evening so we had a BBQ. Saturday was a warm and a busy day.  With a number of departures and arrivals there were three cleaners here and with no problems and early departures all cleaning and checks completed by lunchtime.  All arrivals here by 5pm and with a warm evening in store I thought it was about time we had another picnic. Initially I thought about Chatsworth Gardens that are open in the evening in August weekends but they were not open until the following weekend. So we opted for the next best thing with a picnic in Chatsworth Park with the house as a backdrop. Sunday was pleasant but a breeze took the edge of the temperatures.  Departures and arrivals kept me busy but found some time to relax.  The road down to Bakewell was blocked by a fallen branch later in the day, probably knocked down by a passing tractor and trailer.
