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, I see blue sky!!! Marvellous!!! We have sold out of sandwiches today so I have been guiding customers to lunch in a box, they are made my St Delfour, the jam people and they are really really nice, Have a bit of a liking for the cous cous ones!
There is lots of road traffic in the village today but not many people on foot out walking...
Our cheque for the deposit for the Hawkshead show has just been returned to us, unfortunatley the show has been cancelled for this year, I am not sure if it is the weather or the threat of foot and mouth that has forced it to be cancelled.
Sawrey Stores is a member of the freecycle group, the yahoo group where residents of south lakes can swap and post items that they no longer want or need. You just register your details and you get send a list of items daily that people want to give away
