Best way to describe Thursday Friday and Saturday 1st Feb at our Bolehill Cottages (see link). Wintry showers were forecast for Thursday.  The morning went in jobs about the cottages.  Luckily I had stocked up with logs in the morning as by mid afternoon the flurrying snow was starting to settle.  It took the handyman two hours to get home as he has to go over the moors and the roads were quite bad.  We had planned to go down to Bakewell for a meal in the evening but I wasn’t so sure.  As usual though once we set off down to Bakewell there was no snow below Green Cowden farm.  We decided to try Le Mistral as we haven’t been there for a while.  We had a really nice meal so will have to upgrade our recommendation for it in our guest guide.  By the time we got home most of the snow had gone.  Friday saw rain, lots of it.  Until Thursday the 1st had been the wettest day of a wet month but that changed on Friday. One arrival and one cleaner up and work progressing in Dove.  Popped down to Bakewell to get provisions for the weekend.  Time for more jobs in the cottages in the afternoon as guests weren’t expecting to arrive until later in the evening and they arrived about 7pm.  It was nice to wake up to sunshine on Saturday.  A quiet day at home with the weather better than forecast at first as we had been expecting rain from mid morning.   The wind steadily increased during the day so I got more logs in before the weather deteriorated but in the end the rain didn’t arrive until the evening.  Our guests had gone for a walk in Lathkill Dale and reported that parts of the dale were flooded.  I spent most of the day in jobs around of the house and Chris spent some time sorting out Ian’s laptop.  At least the forecast for Sunday was good.  Here are some pictures of the dogs in the snow while it was here.
