Monday 18 July was a warm day. I had hoped for a picnic in the evening but with a meeting scheduled at the Village Hall for the committee we had an early BBQ instead. Tuesday was even hotter and the hottest day of the year. A quiet day starting with coffee with our neighbours and again I had thought about a picnic but we had an invitation to join the tearoom for a BBQ in the evening with some locals so we did a trip to the Chatsworth Farm Shop for some provisions. Enjoyed the warm weather for a while in the afternoon and prepared some food for the BBQ which we enjoyed. Wednesday was still warm. Paperwork in the morning and Bookers in the afternoon. On the way back we stopped in Bakewell where we ended up sheltering in the Co-Op with some former guests who have now moved to Bakewell when a storm suddenly broke. At least it cleared the air. In the evening some of our guests came round for drink and at least it was dry enough to sit outside. While we were out cutting for a second silage took place in Andrews fields on this side of the road. Thursday was still warm but it clouded up but we decided on a walk in Edale ( separate blog to follow). While we were away the silage was rowed and collected and it was finished by the time we got back so I have no photos. Friday was still warm and the day went on catching up and dealing with arrivals and departures. Saturday was also warm, probably the last of the warm days. Down to Bakewell for the Farmers Market which was a week early due to the Bakewell Show. Busy with arrivals and departures and by the end of the day all the seven cottages in were existing guests. Even had another BBQ but the had plenty of food from the Farmers Market. Sunday was mild but overcast with a last minute booking arriving that afternoon otherwise a quiet day.
