Good Morning from Sawrey, its a blue sky morning and just a perfect day for a walk. Mistake of the week has to go to the Local Paper which reports that Far Sawrey Post office is at High Risk of being closed. This never to be post mistress is sat here in the remains of the post office that was and despite being dazed and confused about many things feels confident that the post office is no longer here, I have searched everywhere and I cannot find it......

Village news this weekend is that the car ferry has new cables and is coming in to dock straight rather than sideways which it has been doing for weeks, for those of you new to the blog, the car ferry web cam can be found at http://www.fba.org.uk/webcam01.html

Today is Rememberence Sunday and many customers have been in wearing their medals. One customer will be reading a list of the names of the people from this area who died in the 1st and 2nd world wars. There are so many names in the list from the 1st world war, dreadful. I went to the cinema in Ambleside this week to watch Atonement and a scene in the film from the beaches at Dunkirk really really brings the reality of it all home. I have just observed the 2 minutes silence, an american family have just been in and we all stood together wearing our poppies with pride, brought a tear to our eyes

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them"

Love from sawrey
