Hello from Sawrey (Miss Potter village)

Far Sawrey lies in rolling farmland and wooded hillsides above Lake Windermere. It is the area where the "Miss Potter" film is based upon. This is a blog from the village shop, which is not dis-similar to the Beatrix Potter Ginger and Pickles Shop here in the heart of the village where Beatrix Potter lived and wrote her world famous stories including "The Tale of Peter Rabbit"

Chilly up here!

Good Afternoon from Far Sawrey..it is a chilly day up here today. Apologies for my blog absence, not sure quite where the week has gone to! Yesterday was half day closing and I ventured off to the hairdressers. My hair has grown really long since we have been here in Sawrey, it must be the air! Anyway I had lots of layers put into my hair and it feels much lighter and better……it has also gone very very curly……or as the hairdresser said it looks very “boho chic” Hmmmmmmmmm anyway…..

Logs are the biggest seller of the week, they are flying out of the shop, the weather has really turned cold here this week….The soup mountain I described the other week is merely a pile here in the shop today….soup is selling well with the weather

Today is Esthwaite Link day and its great reading the magazine and seeing what is going on in the villages surrounding Sawrey……..There are lots of dates for the diary including “Christmas carol” singing in Hawkshead. Hawkshead is such a beautiful village and no doubt it will sound great also on Wednesday 13th of December… Song sheets are provided and it begins at the school at 6pm

A customer from the village had a nasty fall in the woods whilst out walking this week, She disclocated her arm and broke her elbow…OUCH… Sending her GET WELL WISHES….Pleased to report that the First Responder from the village was called and duly arrived to administer First Aid whilst awaiting the Ambulance. First Responders are crucial to villages like Sawrey…

This week is another Rollover with the Braithwaite Hall Bonus Ball game…Got to be in it to win it, the prize stands at £50 this week and its all for a good cause

Hot chocolate time for me…….Keep warm and well :o)
