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 from sunny sawrey............boy it aint half hot!!! Its been a great few days weather wise, the shop has been busy but today there are lots of sad faces as the holiday is over for many, back to school tomorrow for many.........
I have to say the amount of tourists coming into the shop asking where Hill Top is is making the annual pilgrimage to Mecca look like a small gathering!

Lots of Japanese people in the shop this afternoon, all loving Peter rabbit who has been restored to his rightful place outside nestled in with the fruit and vegetables..... A customer took him home a couple of years ago when the shop changed hands and yesterday remembered she had him and asked if we would like to have him back....YES PLEASE was the answer...so welcome home Peter rabbit...

The campsites were full of people packing up to go home this morning, I sense a bit of a lull coming! Although I only ever used to come to the lake district after school holidays, so you never know!

The lambs are all leaping around the fields with abandonement and are loving the weather! Such a contrast to last years easter when it was a bit of a wash out! A customer has just been in and said the horse she bet on came in first in the grand national yesterday...you know who you are.WELL DONE!

My little friend Alan came to the campsites with me yesterday and was a GREAT help, its lovely watching him grow in confidence, he is excellent at sorting out the van!!

Another customer of ours is going to put a mention of our blog on her website, so in return I am putting a link to her site, they are a lovely family and I feel absolutely sure is will be pleasurable staying on their farm http://www.lakesfarmstay.co.uk/shepherdscottage/index.html

Happy Sunday from Sawrey :-)
