The Bakewell Food Festival

Saturday was the first day of the Bakewell Food Festival.  As last years was considered successful it had been extended this year to two days.  It also coincided with the Farmers Market so first thing I went down to Bakewell and wandered round the market before wandering round Bakewell and having a look at the various stalls.  Needless to say I came back with all sorts of food for the next few days! I also went and had a look at the Hartington School of Food where they run cookery courses.  Back at Bolehill there had been one departure and one cleaner up.  Four arrivals due in but two cottages already cleaned and as I had done some final checks on Friday there wasn’t a lot for me to do which gave me a chance to catch up on some paper work.  All cottages arrived between 3 and 4pm, three have been before. On Sunday morning we went down to Bakewell to pick up the paper and for a change parked and had a wander round.  This gave Chris a chance to look at the food stalls as well as try out the Costa Coffee (for QA purposes only!) As we were leaving there was a TVR rally driving past, now that spring is here we will see more car processions like this in the area.  I have also noticed that DofE walkers are back too.  Jobs around the house in the afternoon and it even rained a little bit in the evening.
