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 Bank Holiday Monday Morning from Sawrey, just taken the above picture and as you can see its a glorious morning weather wise, the lambs are chilling out just like everyone else!
It has been a slow start to the day today, either everyone is still getting up or they got up and went out early!
There was a fire in Ambleside the other week, it was quite a serious fire and it caused a significant amount of damage to the shops in the market square. The link before is to youtube and the fire was captured by a passer by http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ambleside+fire&search_type=
Its amazing how fast that above picture downloaded!!! We have had broadband installed here at the shop and it seems to whizz through downloading things a million times faster than our old dial up connection. That and people can now call us and the line will not be engaged :-)
This is my last day in the shop for a couple of days so the blog will return towards the end of the week
HAPPY BANK HOLIDAY
