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"

sunny saturday

Good Morning from Far Sawrey......For some strange reason I could not log onto the blog yesterday, thankfully its working fine today.....
The panto in Hawkshead the other night was fantastic!!! It must have taken lots of hard work to put on such a show..it was very funny and the set design was absolutely fabulous! Then at the interval drinks and biscuits were brought to us in the seats! Marvellous! I was extremely suprised to see Mr Man that Can (aka the mobile mechanic) up on stage singing dancing and doing a belly dance! yes a belly dance! He was great though, I sent him a text afterwards saying he did the best belly dance in the west, didnt say who it was from though ;-)
Thursday night seemed to be Sawrey night at the panto and there were lots of customers in the audience, anyway a GREAT night was had by all......
I am having to apologise to everyone who comes in the shop this morning, the smell of camenbert cheese is still filling the shop despite selling some of it, the remaining packets are smelling for england.........Note to self-do not buy anymore :-)
The weather in the past few days has been dreadful, lots and lots of rain, the road from here to home was like being on a log flume, pleased to report today that I can see blue skies.
The car ferry is not working still today, the lake is too high for it to dock properly, I said to the ferryman earlier, has no one thought of pulling the plug out in the lake still and letting a bit out, not suprisingly he said no :-) He forecast that it will be on tomorrow though, just in time for the storms that are coming our way no doubt! Its all good fun...
Mother has finally moved into her own place, she has a little cottage in the village, last night was her first night...it was really odd at home without her and the dog!
All of the tv magazines have arrived today for xmas, they are not due out for another 4days,guess that means we will be inundated with other papers and magazines ready for xmas on the day when they usually come.
The soup mountain as discussed the other week is now a mere line of soup, Better get some more ordered!
Found a funny website the other day when trying to get the name of a song I keep humming but didnt know the name of, when you log onto it and download it all you have to do it tap into your keyboard the tune and it comes up with a selection of songs that match your tapping! It works and now I can hum away knowing who sang the song! Dont ask me how I found such a site! (its been a quiet week!)
