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"

Local Produce

Good afternoon from far Sawrey..The fog has finally lifted!!!! It is bitterly cold but there is masses of blue sky to be seen! Lots of stock delivered today, so many logs that the shop could double as a wood merchants! :-)
The cheese man has been and brought lots and lots of yummy local cheeses, the fridge has never had it so good! And finally we have local honey! Its from Satterthwaite and is made by a lovely woman who is also a volunteer at hill top the home of Beatrix Potter, its great to have real local honey in the shop. A customer who knows a thing or two about honey has looked at the jars and said they are worthy of winning awards! Happy!!! :-)
Now I am getting worried, as I am typing the log mountain has just turned into a mere pile, someone has just been in an bought half of it! Hmmmm, well when its gone its gone, only room to store so much!
With this been our first christmas here in the shop and the village its really hard to judge how busy we are going to be, hopefully we will be ok....................ok so now I start to panic, since I started typing this blog I have taken more money than I have taken all day!!! I guess today is holiday cottage let day for christmas, its suddenly got very busy!!! What was I saying a couple of lines earlier!
Better go and make some lists, hope all of your xmas preparations are going better than mine
