Friday 20 May was another pleasant day at our Bolehill Cottages near Bakewell (see here).  Two departures and two arrivals with one cleaner here.  Down to Bakewell first thing to get provisions for the weekend.  The Dreams and Ice Cream shop now sells soaps and smelly things and the new Chinese Restaurant is open.  Jobs around the cottages in the morning and accounts and paper work in the afternoon.  Both cottages arrived between 4 and 4.30, both have been before.  It had started to rain by the time I took Smudge out for his evening walk.  Chris spent some time in the evening sorting out his friend’s computer in Over Haddon.  Saturday was forecast to be wet and it got off to a cloudy but dry start.  Three departures and two arrivals with two cleaners here.  With early departures cleaning was underway by 9am and all cleaning and checks completed by lunchtime.  By then it had started raining and it continued through the afternoon with some heavy bursts.  The afternoon went in accounts and paperwork.  First day of  Ashford’s Well Dressings so hope they survived the rain.  First cottage here just before 4pm with second cottage just before 6pm, both have been before.  At least it dried up in the evening.  Sunday by contrast was dry and mainly sunny.  One departure and one arrival with cottage already prepared.  Down to Bakewell to get the paper then a quiet morning on housework.  After lunch Chris cut the grass again as it seems to have shot up and he also did some strimming.  Cottage arrived at 3pm.  In the evening I collected Andrew and Joanna and we went to the Village Hall for the film the Lady in the Van which we enjoyed.  On the way back there was a lovely sunset but the colours had gone by the time I got home so unfortunately no photos.
