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, a dry start to the day, its half day here today. Had a lovely suprise to start the day today, A blogger from Derbyshire has sent me a postcard with the dry stone walls of Derbyshire on it, she also said that the bread we sold her on the Wednesday she left, which travelled 110 miles home, was still as fresh on saturday! Thats good to hear! THANKYOU Judy and Dorothy

The above picture is of this weeks selection of cheeses from our supplier in Kendal which includes Westmorland Smoked Cheddar, Blengdale Blue, Blacksticks Blue, Wensleydale and Cranberry, Kendal Creamy, Kendal Crumbly, Keldthwaite Gold and Cumberland Farmhouse. They are all very popular with customers, the most popular is the Blacksticks Blue which is a deliciously spicy blue cheese with an orange hue. It was also named BEST BLUE CHEESE IN THE WORLD at the Nantwich International Cheese Show! Several of our cheeses come from the Cumberland dairy farm who can be found at the link below.

Had a customer in this morning who I would say he is in his 80's? (My grandmother used to say when you get to my age you can say what you like) Anyway this quiet little old man looked straight at my chest and said "I bet those would keep me warm on a cold night!" Speechless!!!


Thats about all for now folks, off to buy that customer a hot water bottle to fill with cold water!!! ;-)
