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, the rain has just stopped thank goodness, the new fruit and veg doesnt like rain! (its that fine rain that soaks you through so says Peter Kay!) Word from the fruity market is that the potato fields are swimming and the cost of pots is going to go up up up, but not today thank goodness! English strawberries have also been damaged by the weather, it must be so disheartening for the growers when it rains... I am however pleased to report that all is good on the fruit front here in Sawrey, quite enjoying displaying the produce when we get back to base!
We went to a fruit farm near lancaster yesterday to ask if they were able to supply us with local soft fruit, unfortunately they cannot but we spent a very pleasurable hour picking some soft fruit, very relaxing and theraputic if you have the time!
Thats about all for now, I have my hot water bottle at the ready for my friendly customer,............he has just been in and made some comment about been a toy boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But thank goodness he told me the toy is broken!!! (Boy oh Boy never a dull moment here!)
Thats all for now folks, better go arrange some more fruit
