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"

rain rain GO AWAY















Good Morning from Far Sawrey....its raining.....its pouring! However despite the rain I have seen at least a dozen walkers heading up onto claife heights! Thought I would take a pitcure of veg display of the day, had some celeriac, raw beetroot, sweet potatoes, savoy cabbages amd broccolli delivered today, very autumny!
Its nice to see a gang of people who all come and stay at the Sawrey Hotel at the same time as each other, they were up here in April and have all returned for another break..
Mother reports that the Rug class was a great success last night.....14 ladies from the village attended and feedback form some of them this morning is that they havd a good time..
The new vicar for the parish has just popped into the shop, he really is nice and easy to talk to, he does well to stop and talk! I believe he has several parishes to look after, Sawrey, hawkshead, Wray, Satterthwaite and Rusland! thats what being a rural vicar entails hey!
Jill Aldersley, a local artist has dropped off some more xmas cards this morning, she paints some really great cards of the local area, this years new editions include one of the langdale scenery with a mountain rescue hellicopter dropping off santa and also one of santa sitting on top of the little bridge house in Ambleside. The one of Santa feeding his flock in Near Sawrey is still my favourite tho...
Hope you all keep warm and dry today :-)
