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 fruity market day today, we have come back with lots of soft fruit to tempt our customers. Large punnets of strawberries are only £1. I have just checked out fruit and vegatable prices online and I am pleased to say that our fruit and vegetable prices are very competitive. Many of the major supermarkets are offering the same sized punnets of strawberries as us at half price and they are still £1.99!!!
As I type Benny is having a handbags at dawn moment with a girly dog who is taking offence to him sniffing at her bits, he is kicking up all of the stones in protest! Animals!
We noticed the high tech signs at Newby Bridge telling HGV and coach drivers the road was not suitable for them, its written on paper and by hand!!! here's hoping that it does not rain today!
We have also bought some lovely hanging baskets to sell, they are from a nursery in lancashire and look just lovely...they were been delivered just as we bought them...mini carbon foot print hey!
Thats about all for now folks, better go sell some fruit :-)
