A busy warm St Georges Day.  18 degrees at 9am at our peak district cottages.  Didn’t even need my jacket when I took the dogs for their walk.  Two cottages out with two back in. One cleaner up.  As soon as guests had gone and cleaner sorted Chris and I headed down to Over Haddon for the official opening of the Village Hall.  It was busy and warm and entertainment was provided by the Cressbrook Silver Band.  We milled around chatting to some of the residents and at 11am after a couple of speeches the plaque was unveiled and the ribbon was cut.  I thought the plaque was nice after all the controversy in the village about the new hall.  Back home and all the usual jobs before guests arrived.  Chris cut the grass just as we had the briefest of showers which just about wet the ground.  What little ‘rain’ we have had in the last couple of weeks has not been enough to register on our weather station as it is now saying 17 days without rain!  Hope you like the picture of our cherry blossom tree.  It is not normally out until the middle of May.  Chris found a picture of the cherry blossom and Blue sitting in the front field with dandelions and I said  ‘Have you taken that today?’  He showed me the date – 18 May 2010.  I really thought he had just taken it.  First guests arrived about 4pm with the second ones about 8pm.  Then watched Dr Who!
