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 Sunny sawrey, what started out as a damp morning has turned into a beautiful blue sky day,
A steady away morning here at the shop, we are sensing a lull before the storm of the bank holiday weekend, there are lots more people coming into the shop looking for gifts etc.

A customer who lives in the village has given me the name of his two race horses that he owns which both seem to be on a winning streak at the moment, I wouldnt know how or where to put a bet on but if you do the horses names are "provost" and "regime". He told me that Frankie Detorri rode one of them yesterday, thats a name I have heard of!! http://www.highclereracing.co.uk/jkwd/default.aspx?pg=30&horseid=41

We are awaiting another delivery of the english lakes ice cream today, think we are going to try a new flavour this week, death by chocolate!

Another new edition to the cheeses that we sell this week is called Mrs Applebys Cheshire, its a pinky colour and it tastes just lush, its flakey and crumbly, but not dry, with a clean, acidic tang and combined with the cumbrian oatcakes it makes a lovely snack

Thats about all for now, some thirsty cyclists have landed
