On the morning after the night before at our peak district cottages (see here for a picture taken by Chris) took the dogs for their early morning walk and noticed that there are still plenty of mushrooms in our front field.  Saturday was a very warm day, during the night it stayed warmer than it was on Bank Holiday Monday!  Six cottages out and five back in and thee cleaners up.  Cleaning got off to a good start but during the course of the morning one of the cleaners started to feel unwell so I sent her home.  One of the other cleaners was just about to leave so she did some of the final cottage and Chris and I finished it off as the remaining cleaner was still engrossed in her final cottage.  All cleaning finally finished by 2pm so a quick bite for lunch before completing my final checks.  I was just on the last cottage when the first guests arrived, a little early.  Still they were happy to spend a few minutes in the sun while I checked the last few bits then had a chat with them before they settled themselves in.  They have been before as have two of the other cottages including our very first guests when we came here. A quick succession of arrivals meant four cottages were here by 3.30. Time for a cup of tea (and possibly final ice cream of the season) before final guests arrived at 5pm.  Today was also the Over Haddon Village Show.  Like so many events on a Saturday there will be a time when we can go and see them!  After dinner took the dogs out for a walk before sitting down for Last Night of the Proms.  That time of the year again already? Summer drawing to a close!
