Monday was hot. I’d forgotten was hot was like! Not just hot but humid too. One cottage out with one back in and one cleaner up at our peak district cottages. Usual Monday tasks and despite the heat found some time to do some gardening. Guests arrived about 5pm, they have been before. It was a warm enough evening to sit out and eat dinner al fresco. After a few rumbles in the night Tuesday dawned fresher. One cottage departed Tuesday was one of those days that seemed to go in a flash and before we knew it it was mid afternoon and our friends from Yorkshire were here. As they have never seen well dressings in their glory we made Youlgreave our first stop in the evening as theirs are one of the better ones. They were up to their usual high standard but the hot weather of the previous couple of days had taken its toll on one of the wells. So here are the pictures of Youlgreave’s dressings. Following our stroll around the village we went to the Lathkil Hotel at Over Haddon for a meal.
