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 on what can only be described as a very wet and wild morning.......the car ferry is being serviced today so there is no traffic through the village, although I suspect it would be off anyway with the northerly winds which are blowing down the lake at hurricane speed!

We are having a meeting with a person from Cumbria Rural Enterprises today regarding marketing the shop etc, should be interesting, all support for village shop is gratefully received, especially at this time of year when it goes so very quiet.. Benny and I are going to go for a walk alongside the lake shore this afternoon and then home to make some Sloe Gin for presents with some of Sawrey's finest Sloe's :-)
Baby Alexander has not been up for his paper yet, perhaps the winds are delaying him some what :-)

I am posting a link to the dent meditation centre where I went on a course at the other week, it is a wonderful place of calmness and I cannot recommend it enough if meditation appeals to you
