No departures or arrivals at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here) on Tuesday 9 September but my sister arrived to stay.  I went mid morning to collect her from Chesterfield station.  I went via Chatsworth Farm shop and after leaving the shop and travelling through Baslow the traffic came to halt.  A very large load was negotiating the roundabout from the Sheffield road to the Chesterfield road so the first part of my drive up the Chesterfield road was very slow.  Luckily I could turn off at the Robin Hood pub and I got to the station just as my sister’s train pulled in.  On the way back home we met the heavy load making its way through Chesterfield.  After lunch we went to Buxton as Chris’s glasses had broke and we needed some bulbs from the electrical wholesalers.  We had an enjoyable stroll around Buxton in the warm sunshine and stopped for afternoon tea at Number 6 near the Opera House. Wednesday was our WI outing in the afternoon and after a morning of chatting with sister and an early lunch we picked up Joanna and one of the Over Haddon members and avoiding Bakewell and the traffic problems we drove via Youlgrave and Matlock to Clay Cross.  Here we were visiting the private museum of the master farrier who came to talk to us a couple of months ago.  We had an enjoyable couple of hours at the museum before returning home.  Thursday was our retail therapy day and sister and I enjoyed a couple of hours wandering around Bakewell followed by lunch at the Upstairs Cafe.  I also drove round to the Chatsworth Farm shop before returning home where it was still warm enough for a cup of tea on the patio.  In the evening we went down to Bakewell and had a nice meal at Le Mistral. Everywhere we went on Thursday there was talk of the problems the traffic lights were causing and there are still five more weeks to go!
