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"

Good rainy afternoon from sawrey, the heavens have certainly opened today! its a quiet day, just me and the lavender shortbread for company ;-)
Its also quite windy and we have had to tie up the brolly outside, feels very wintery today

Had to pop to troutbeck to pick up a parcel at the post office, on my way to the ferry via rayrigg road I saw several thousand canada geese, it was quite spectacular! All casually stood there eating worms...........Anyway, I got to the ferry to find it closed, long drive round ensued...
Unfortunately the parcel was not exciting, just another tree full of paper documents from the county council regarding my case, the postage cost them £20.02!!! All so very un-necessary...

A few customers have been asking for tins of rice pudding, so we got some and boy are they selling well, sawrey likes its puddings!
We have to do a stock take of the shops contents tomorrow for our year end, not looking forward to that one at all!

I will end with one of the very few jokes I know......

What do you call a mushroom who buys everyone drinks and is the life of the party? A fun-gi.


Happy tuesday

:-)
