Shopping!

Monday was a day of sunshine and showers at Bolehill including a heavy hailstorm.  Three departures and two arrivals and one cleaner up.  The morning also saw laundry collected, rubbish collected, oil delivered and leaflets from the Chestnut Centre delivered.  First guests arrived at 3pm and second guests arrived just after 7pm.  One of those afternoons that seem to fly past with nothing to show for it.  When I took the dogs out for their evening walk the air was crystal clear but nippy!  At least Tuesday was not as bad as forecast.  Chris was able to mow the lawns in the morning even if he got caught in a hail shower.  He has also had to put up the electric fence to stop the cows from getting into the paddock area.  One had already found her way in and was given an Asbo.  In the afternoon I had an excursion down to Bakewell to get some provisions, petrol and compost.  It started to rain just before 4pm.  One cottage in arriving just before 5pm.  They are from Australia.  It was wet overnight into Wednesday and cold too, but at least it didn’t snow.  We opted to go shopping and usually at this time of year we go to Lea Gardens and Junction 28 but today we ventured a little further and went to Lakeside Outlet at Doncaster.  This is just off the M18 and took an hour to get to so no longer than going to Junction 28.  It is bigger than Junction 28 but it has  a Thorntons and Cadburys so I was happy.  When I took the dogs out in the evening one of the other guests said they had been to Lea Gardens and had enjoyed it.  Our cherry tree is usually in blossom by now but I reckon it is still another week before it flowers.
