Good Morning from Sawrey.....What a morning it has been.for a moment I thought the village wa sin for free logs for the year! It appears the road between Graythwaite and Hawkshead has been closed and traffic is been diverted through Sawrey, not a problem for cars but haulage vehicles are getting stuck like flies in honey, combined with the potter pilgrimes, its been a bit busy out there to say the least.... I have never ever seen the colour drain away from a man's face so quickly when the lorry driver realised he was stuck and going nowhere, thankfully a HGV driver who lives in the village came to the rescue and took him out in his car to see if the lorry would get out another way, after a heart stopping reverse, he has managed to get on his way....I did my finest traffic diverting impression and tried to calm lost potter pilgrims and a couple of coaches, boy what a morning!

Prior to that a man had been in asking if we sold alcohol...it was only 9am when he asked! I said sorry no we dont, he said thats a shame my wife is driving me b***dy mad, b***dy holidays! He came to the conclusion it was easier to get drunk than he could not drive and his wife would have to go out alone!

Poor man, hes best off inside with the chaos outside!
