Thursday  8 September was a fine day but cooler and fresher than of late.   One departure but no arrivals and a day of catching up with laundry and other jobs. Chris managed to cut the grass in the afternoon.  Andrew has done a third silage of some fields on our side of the road so a couple of times we walked around the back to see how they were getting on.  This is only the second time since we have been here that he has done a third silage.  They had cut on Tuesday but rowed and collected on Thursday.  Friday was a breezy day but still mild.  A busy day with four departures and two arrivals and two cleaners here.  Down to Bakewell first thing to get provisions for the weekend and by the time I got back cleaning was well underway.  Cows on this side of the road were moved into different fields, the grass has been growing so quickly in recent weeks.  Both cottages here just after 3pm giving me the rest of the afternoon to pay bills and prepare for Saturday.  After some heavy overnight rain Saturday dawned overcast and cooler with showers throughout the day.  Two departures and four arrivals with two cleaners here.  A lot of the work had already been done so this gave me the afternoon in between arrivals to catch up on blogging and accounts.  All cottages here by 5pm, all have been before.  The dull day gave way to a bright evening and along with a clear sunset I could see the mist rolling in across the dales. Nights  are drawing in and won’t be long before I won’t be taking Smudge for an evening walk. Sunday was a fine but breezy day and it was nice to see some sunshine.  One departure with one arrival and cottage already prepared.  Down to Bakewell to get the paper then decided to go to the tearoom at Over Haddon for coffee (and cake).  They were already busy and had a busy Sunday.  We had a quiet day ourselves with cottage, who has been before, arriving at 3pm.
