The snow went as soon as the sun got on it on Saturday morning at our Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here). One departure with one arrival and cottage already prepared. Last minute checks and some jobs around the house as we were expecting a friend for the weekend. Early in the afternoon I headed to Baslow for the WI jumble sale before calling in at the Chatsworth Farm Shop. Although there was no snow in the immediate area you could still see it on the Edges and distant moorland. Back in time for cottage arrival about 4pm and friend arrived shortly after that. A quiet evening in. Sunday got off to a fine start but it had clouded up by lunchtime. Chris went for a walk along Lathkill Dale with friend and Smudge and I dropped them off in Monyash before returning home for a few hours to do some housework. Later I went down to Over Haddon and joined them for lunch at the Lathkill Hotel. It was busy mainly because of Mothers day as well as many walkers out with the fine weather. A quiet afternoon enjoying friends company. Enjoy the picture of the setting sun lighting up the far hillside.
Monday was a bright but cold day with wall to wall sunshine. Three departures and two arrivals and one cleaner here. Friend departed and Chris went down to Bakewell to get some maintenance items. Day went on jobs around the vacant cottages and final checks on arriving cottages. Both cottages arrived between 3 and 3.30pm, both have been before. Managed to photograph a hare in our front garden. In the evening I went down to Over Haddon for indoor bowls while Chris stayed with Smudge.
