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"

Greetings from Sawrey, fruitilicious, our mobile greengrocery van is about to make its maiden voyage this afternoon. Went to market early this morning, the van is stocked up and ready to go! Excitin! Am trying to work out how to price the produce up thus not to break any rules regarding pricing, think I have done it, we sell things in Kilo's and the scales in the van go up to 5kilos, but people probably wont want many Kilo's of each thing so if I do it by the 100g thats divide it by 10 and x it by the weight of the produce, yikes typing it sounds complicated never mind selling it!!! Where is Carol Vordamen when you need her!

Mother is off singing Jerusalem as I type, today she is at her Women's Institute meeting,

It must have been very windy last night, all of the blackboards outside were all over the place this morning. The village has gone very quiet this week despite the lush blue sky days we are having! It feels strange closing at 2pm three days a week but it is so very quiet in here on an afternoon, hopefully fruitilicious service will a good replacement to the shop on the afternoons we are closed.

Thats about all for now folks, better shut up shop and get on the road with the van :-)
