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 sunny sawrey, its another blue sky day here today and its very warm! Its been a busy morning in the shop, it usually goes quieter on a sat afternoon as its change over day in the holiday cottages, however I have started to notice that people who come to stay int he cottages come earlier and earlier, it used to be about 4pm they all arrived, however the people staying at letterbox cottage across from the shop have already arrived and its only 12.30! Guess ya kind of get an extra day if your lucky enough....
The above picture on the left is of the cumbrian ham and the range of cumbrian cheeses that we sell and the picturs on the right is a box of groceries that have been ordered by some holiday makers who are coming to stay at Esthwaite Farm in a holiday cottage, we deliver groceries free of charge to people coming to stay locally....
We sold out of the strawberries and raspberries yesterday and I am hoping the same happens today, they smell soooooooooo sweet!
Some of the new range beatrix potter gifts arrived yesterday and I am in the process of putting them onto the web site. The gifts that arrived were the new mugs, t towels and giant pencils, and they will go into the beatrix potter gifts for under £10 section
Well thats about all for now folks, I am feeling a BBQ coming on this evening
Happy Saturday from Sawrey :-)
