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 Morning from far Sawrey. another blue sky morning to start the day..Picture of Benny catching a few rays....
I am very pleased to report that the van is in residence at Pandora Signs and is been covered in fruit as I type! They are creative genius's at that place and do some wonderful work! I am going along for the afternoon to help if I can, I am picking up my little friend Alan from school as he wants to help out too! Will take lots of pictures! http://pandorasigns.co.uk/ A customer has just been in who has just been into Hawkshead and she says the van is looking good!!!! I am so looking forward to seeing it!!!

I am sad to report that our customer who was inviolved in the traffic accident the other day has been taken back into hospital overnight, no more news as yet, sending him and his family all our love and get well wishes

We have started selling sandwiches once again here in the shop, we are getting them from a company called lakeland sandwich comany near kendal, the range includes, salami and cream cheese, roast ham and colslaw, fruity lancashire and roast ham and gouda cheese, they are proving to be great sellers to the shop..

We had a man in the shop yesterday who has come to the village to do some reseach in the area, his surname is Sawrey! He did not know that the village existed for a long time, he has consulted with geneologists and is spending some time doing his family history around the area...

As I type there is gridlock in sawrey, the road has been dug up by engineers and a horse and horse-rider are waiting to get by..

You never know, you might soon be able to fly into sawrey if reports gazette are true! Sea planes on the lake! Hmmmmmm
Hmmm anyway I better fly off and go see the van!
