Monday was a quiet day at our peak district cottages.  One cottage out and one cleaner up.  With a number of regular guests spent some time chatting to them as they departed and returned during the day.  Spent the afternoon working on next years prices, overall there will be no increase in prices although dates will change to reflect next years public holidays.  In the evening a couple of our guests found the cows following them and their dog as they walked up the drive.  Chris went out to make sure they were OK and the dogs went too.  Blue decided  to be brave and woof from the garden but Smudge went down and positioned himself between the guests and the cows and the cows just came to a halt.  It looked really strange!  Tuesday and Wednesday were a bit more hectic with three cancellations for imminent bookings causing me some headaches.  On Tuesday morning I went down to Bakewell to get some provisions for the weekend. One cottage in later in the day so after final checks had planned to do some accounts but ended up updating web sites because of the first cancellation. Cottage arrived about 5pm.  On Wednesday the plan was to hang up some curtains and do some jobs in the vacant cottages but two further cancellations meant my time was spent dealing with them.  These things happen.
