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 a very very wet sunday in Sawrey, just taken the above picture, but it does not quite do the rain justice! "its that fine rain that soaks you through" (a.k.a Peter Kay)
The trees will be happy with all of this rain, however that joy had not spread to the campers ont he camp sites this morning!, It did not look like much fun packing up tents and camping equipment in the rain!
Its extremely quiet in the village today! only a few hardened walkers out jumping through the puddles! Mother is at home finishing off her hawkshead school project wall hanging that she did with the children a few weeks ago, she is doing all of the sewing up, its a wall hanging that represents fletchers field which is behind the school and soemthing the children are working on in school
No one won the bonus ball quiz last night, although the number that did come up was the usual number of denis from Buckle Yeat, I think he forgot to put it on! Opppzzzz, bread and jam for dennis this week :-)
The free range eggs that we have started selling from Low Fulshaw farm are todays top seller, a customer who bought some yesterday said that she had 2 double yokers in her eggs yesterday!
A HUGE thankyou goes out to sawrey stores very own man that can aka Simon and his son Alan who have knocked the dents out of the van ready for its new covering this week, he also fixed the door handle that had broken, We dont know what we would do without you!

Happy Sunday from Sawrey :-)
