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 Far Sawrey, its a very very quite day here in the village, a complete contrast to last mondays road chaos day!
I have posted a picture of one of the sheep cushions handmade and on sale here in Sawrey Stores
One of our customers decided to get the bus into hawkshead today and I was astonished to learn that a ticket costs £5.75 return or £3.25 single! Where is a segway when you need one!
Despite the quietness we have sold out of fresh bread, its a day for eating bread I guess, I am now dreaming of hot buttered toast......
Benny is curled up indoors today recovering from his long walk on saturday, a customer took him out for a full day ans apparently when she got back to the tarns and decided to do a bit more Benny would not budge and pulled her in the direction of the shop! He had had enough I guess!
We heard some good news today, some of our customers who live in Near Sawrey are renewing their wedding vows in the church this week. I am a romantic at heart and think its a lovely thing to do, I have my fingers crossed that the weather brightens up
Thats about all for now folks, wellies on and off home :-)
