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 warm but overcast afternoon here, the roads seem very very busy with lots of cnstruction traffic, I think they are heading up to the new housing development at Hawkrigg Farm.

As the above picture shows, its time to budge up bath buns and make way for new gorgeous looking, gorgeous smelling slice's of garlic bread from the clever people at munx lakeland bakery, yum yum is all I can say!

Today is Suma delivery day and the shop floor is stuffed with boxes upon boxes of groceries. New lines this week include Suma Wildflower Honey, Suma Pasta Sauces (Arrosta, Rustica and Affumicata), Doves Gram Flour for making your Onion Bhajis!, Organic Spaghetti, Polenta, Spicy Noodles to snack on and Cous Cous with Lemon and Corriander.
A customer has recommended a book for us to read, she was so enthusiastic about it, I did not have the heart to tell her that since my case I have the concentration span of a Goldfish, anyway, the book is called Shopped by Joanna Blythman

Thats about all for now folks, its fruity market night tonight :-)
