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, its a blue sky morning despite what the weather men predicted....Our pictures of the traffic chaos made it into the Westmorland gazette today with an explaination from the traffic authorities, its still a very busy morning road wise.


Popped to Buckle yeat yesterday to deliver some fresh fruit and saw their lovely garden which is an absolute haven away from all of the road chaos. Cream teas are served their during the day which were being lovingly home made as I arrived, the look and smell of the flowers combined with the smell of the home baking makes for a lovely sensory experience for any weary traveller who feels like a bit of rest and relaxation here in Sawrey
The above pictures are of our tray bakes which are made for us by the pudding lady in Ambleside, her white chocolate brownies have now got quite a following here in Sawrey with many people coming back day after day for their daily fix of the yummy slice, a blogger came in today and she loves them that much she is taking some back home with her
Thats about all for now, fingers crossed this lovely weather holds for the hawkshead May Queen Festival tomorrow which starts at 2pm at the village school
