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 blue sky day in the village today! Fantastic!

The fruity van made its maiden voyage to Near Sawrey today, its been fantastic! A blogger took some pictures on his mobile phone and has sent them to me but me being me, I have downloaded them and I have no idea where they have been saved! DOH! Anyway, fruit kebabs have sold a treat, lots of children loving fruit on a stick, one child bought two sticks with apricots on, a child eating 10 apricots!

Been at hill top is quite interesting, the traffic queues make for some irate people, everyone who arrives in the queue seems ok to wait about one minute and then everyone starts getting a bit twitchy and then they start edging their cars out and then some people overtake the queue and then all hell breaks loose....one of the national trust car parking attendents was shouted at and called "ugly ridiculous", not nice....Hill top sold out of tickets by 3pm today so the fruity van came back to base

There is a steady trickle of customers in the village here today, its amazing what a difference a bit of sunshine does.

Still no sign of rogers cock, no new postcards as yet, he must be having fun with his birds hey!
