With work resuming on my new laundry had to put up with some noise whilst the foundations were dug out. Two cottages out on Monday morning with two returning into our dog friendly cottages and one cleaner up. Usual Monday events and one cottage arrived just after 3pm, they also have a collie called Blue! Second cottage arrived about 5pm. A lady came to collect some bits I had put on Freecycle and she turned out to be a granddaughter of a previous owner. She found it quite emotional seeing all the changes but has said she will search out some old pictures and bring them round. She was also able to fill in some gaps in our knowledge. Tuesday was forecast wet but like last week it seemed to pass us by. Spent some time in the morning tidying up and WI Treasurers bits. After lunch went to Bakewell and onto the outlet village at Rowsley and bought a few bits. The foundations had been dug by Tuesday afternoon and if the building inspector passes the work on Wednesday morning then the concrete will arrive in the afternoon! The dogs are coping with the noise and upheaval, for Smudge a chance to cadge lunch of the men but they have been a bit confused by the fact we do not let them out the back door for their walks at the moment.
Blue is very excited to have ended up in Smudge’s blog, I will send you the link for Blue’s Blog, then he can keep Blue and Smudge posted on his adventures! Elly Sillitoe (Blue’s Mum)
