At least Monday 27th July was better weather wise at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here).  One departure and three arrivals and one cleaner here.  The morning seemed to whiz by with bookings, laundry and rubbish collections.  Cleaning finished by lunchtime.  Feeling milder than Sunday with passing showers.  First guests here by 3.30, with second cottage at 3.45 and final cottage at 4.30.  Can tell the school holidays have began as we have families here now.   In the evening went to the village hall for the postponed management committee meeting.  Tuesday was a nice day weather wise.  One departure and one cleaner here.  Went down to Bakewell later in the morning to get provisions for the next few days. Bakewell certainly felt busier.  Tuesday handyman here too and he and Chris finally finished logging. Blogging, paperwork and bookings in the afternoon and Andrew had to remove a cow that decided it would rather munch roadside than in the fields.  Wednesday was sunny and dry but still cool for the time of year.  One departure and one arrival and one cleaner here.  Apart from that the rest of the day went in completing the non business rates form for the Valuation Office.  Can think of better ways to spend a day but it is done now.  Cottage arrived at 3.30.  Thursday was dry and sunny and felt a lot warmer.  Two departures with no arrivals and one cleaner here to keep up with cleaning.  We went for a late lunch at Bonsall, home of the hen racing world championships, then had a wander around the village looking at the well dressings, probably passed their best but interesting to have a look.  We left the dogs at home as we were going to go onto Hopton Hall but in the end we had a look at a plant centre in Bonsall where I bought some plants.  Back via Monyash (passing Pikehall where the Y Not music festival will take place over the weekend).  In the evening we went down to Bakewell and tried Riley’s (which has replaced Le Mistral) for a meal which we both enjoyed.
