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"

Greetings.....Its been a while I know!.........Well the blue skies went.......the snow came.......the snow went and now its raining cats and dogs....

Mothers car is at the garage and she has a lush courtesy car to play with...I note I am not on the insurance! I am just keeping my fingers crossed that they do not write her car off, its such a good car, despite it been annie'd

Benny has very kindly been taken for a long walk around coniston this afternoon, he wont know whats hit him! Its been a while since we went for a long long walk

There is a jumble sale in the village at Braithwaite Hall today....reports are that it is quite busy....Bonus ball tickets are selling ok this week too, someone will hopefully be in for a nice suprise tomorrow

I note in the local paper this week that Tesco is coming to the lakes! World domination or what! They have been given permission to put a store in Bowness on Windermere on the site of a former pub.....Ironic really, one has to jump through so many hurdles to put up a sign advertising a village shop....Yet there seems to be no problems with plonking a tesco store in the hart of the lake district....strange hey

No news on my case and whether or not the council are going to appeal the appeal, instinct says they will just because they can, but fingers crossed someone puts a stop to any more public money being wasted and money is committed to putting right the many wrongs.....

A couple who are blog readers are up for the weekend and they have popped in and bought some sheepy things....

Well folks thats about all from Far Sawrey today..Happy Saturday :-)
