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 Afternoon from Sawrey, Look what I got today! A blogger who lives in Carlisle popped in and brought me a plant! It brought me to tears! It was a lovely suprise, so thankyou very very much Joyce...

A busy day here in the shop today, I had to pop to Kendal at lunch time, the traffic was absolutely mad! there was a queue of traffic from Windermere right back to kendal! I came back via Newby Bridge, which was quite quiet...

We had to do another fruit market run last night, we had run out of so much in the past few days...Everyone wants Strawberries!

I just checked the weather forecast for the next few days and it says its going to get real cold and some snow on the tops! hard to believe as its such a lovely afternoon here today...

Saturday afternoons are really nice as lots of new people arrive for their weeks holiday in the village, they all come in to see what we have got here in our little tardis of a shop, I say tardis as a woman came in the other day, she said that in her holiday cottage in Hawkshead their was one of our leaflets and someone had handwritten on it, "you must visit this shop, it is like a tardis filled with goodies!" That made us smile

Thats about all for now, better get the snow shovels out ready for tomorrow :-)
