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, its a blustery wild morning here, very quiet in the village.........fruitilicious was a success yesterday, visited two villages and a customer who is over 100 years old! Amazing! I hope by going regularly more and mroe people will buy fresh produce from the van....
Baby Alexander who is 9days old popped up to the shop or his daily paper today, got to train them young you know!!!
The pictures today are of our new range of gluten free products that we get from the village bakery at Melmerby, they are proving quite popular as more and more people seem to have dietary requirements which do not include gluten products in them.
There is a pheasant shoot in the village today, lots of men wearing their plus fours, its like a scene of out Fawlty Towers (only kidding)
Thats about all for now folks, back to the VAT paperwork :-)
