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 sawrey, its a much cooler day here today, no rain,but a lot of cloud cover. Its absolutely lovely that its soft fruit time again! They smell and taste absolutely lovely and are selling a treat.
The jack daws have a bit of a crush on the plums and its a battle to keep them from been eaten although one of the birds has just flown straight into the window en route to dive bombing the fruit and knocked itself senseless...oooooooooooppps!
The water from the flood soaked under the counter and it taking some drying out and the insurance company say they dont want to know, so its a case of lift it up and keep praying it dries out!
The westmorland gazette keeps reporting on the proposed chages to WaterHead, it is proposed that the bottom road will be closed, re routed and it will be pedestrianised, concerns have been raised as to whether or not such work needs to be carried out at such a great expense. If you have anything to say about the propsed changes I think they can be lodged at this address http://www.sldt.co.uk/waterhead.html
Thats about all for now folks, the jack daw is back!
Love from Sawrey
