Friday 5th June was a warm and humid day at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here) with a risk of showers although we never saw any. Hard to believe in the space of a few days the temperature has more than doubled. One cleaner here to keep up with cleaning. Down to Bakewell in the morning for a hair cut and get provisions for the weekend. After lunch I started planting out some of the bedding plants I bought last week and I also had more arrive in the post. Chris finished
repairing the front lawn for the time being. Saturday was another dry and sunny day although the breeze kept the edge of the temperature. A busy day with seven departures and four arrivals and two cleaners here. With early departures cleaning was under way by 9am and all cleaning and checks were completed by lunchtime. I did some jobs in vacant cottages before the first of the
arrivals. All here by 3.45pm, two have been before. Chris cut the grass and I had a sense of déjà vue when I was summonsed to the top of the guest garden. The lock on the gate into the field had jammed and Chris could not close the gate and there was a group of cows eyeing up the garden! Smudge and I held the cows at bay while Chris fixed the gate. They started silaging at Andrew’s mid morning with cutting going on until 8pm in the fields behind us.
