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 soggy sawrey, its certainly raining and pouring! the campsites were all abandoned this morning and it seems that the village is too....Mother is at hawkshead school embellishing the wall hanging with all of the children as I type...

No one has put there name to the poem as yet, however its amused everyone that has read it! I have put a copy in the window just in case anyone has not seen it!

I put a counter on the bottom of the blog page yesterday so I could get a feel for how many people are reading the blog, I am so pleased to see that since 3pm yesterday afternoon over 40 people have looked at the blog! Amazing!

We have had several new customers in the shop over the past couple of days, they have all moved into Ferry House, next to the car ferry, it seems that all of the apartments have been sold, so we look forward to welcoming them all here at the shop

One customer found a dead badger outside her gate yesterday morning! What with that and a dead snake, I think its all the hot weather that has made them all come out....Guess we must all look out for wildlife and make sure we dont squash it.....

I believe the Braithwaite Hall is getting looking good after the men on the commitee gave it a bit of a make-over ready for the wedding reception that is going to be held int here in a couple of weeks, There is a ceiling of fairy lights I believe, I am sure it will all look lovely....

Thats about all for now folks, Happy Tuesday :-)
