Friday 24 July was unseasonably cool at out Bolehill cottages near Bakewell (see here).  At least we did not have the rain that was experience d further south.  It stayed dry but cloudy during the morning and drizzly during the afternoon.  One departure and one arrival and one cleaner here to keep up with cleaning.  After lunch I went down to Bakewell to get some provisions and when I got back we completed the VAT Return.  Unfortunately at this point our main printer developed a fatal error so we couldn’t print the return out for ourselves but we have submitted it electronically.  Realising the printer was on its last legs Chris has been researching a new one.  It was raining by the evening when I took the dogs out.  The trouble is everyone is wanting to do a second silage or hay making and they need a few dry days in which to do it.  Guests held up by bad traffic and finally arrived at 11.30 after we had gone to bed.  Saturday was a fine day, not that we could enjoy it.  Six departures and five arrivals and three cleaners here.  Said goodbye to guests before I went down to Bakewell for the Farmers Market leaving cleaning under way.  Cleaning finished by lunchtime and checks finished just before guests arrivals.  Chris cut the grass.  Three cottages here by 3.30, two have been before with further cottage by 4pm, they have been before and are here for three weeks.  Final cottage here by 6pm.  Enjoyed a quiet evening.  Sunday by contrast was a miserable day.  Overcast in the morning with rain and drizzle setting in by lunchtime and it was cold for the time of year.  The day went in housework and odd jobs in the vacant cottages.  Catastrophe struck when taking the dogs out in the evening as my feet were feeling wet and when I got back I realised my wellies of ten years, complete with puppy bites, were cracked on the soles.  Oh well.  Something else to replace!
