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 Morning From Sawrey, its another blue sky morning here. Yesterday afternoon was the May Queen Fayre and a great day was had by all.
It was traffic chaos in the village yesterday morning, the Brathy run which set off from Brathy training centre via hawkshead, graythwaite and lakeside seemed to close the road and traffic for some bizarre reason was diverted through Sawrey, it was absolute chaos and nobody seemed to know where they were going. Lots of screeching of wheels and setting off fast in 1st gear....
However, as diversions go I think a diversion through sawrey, cunsey and graythwaite is a pretty beautiful one
Menzies the newspaper distribution company have surpassed themselves today, here at Sawrey Stores it is safe to assume we sell lots and plenty of times, telegraph and daily mails, however today the computer said no and it did not send us enough telegraphs or times but to save the day the computer said..........hmmmmmm I know we will send them masses of Mirrrors and Daily Sports!!! Interesting!!!!
Its just been on Cumbria News that the foresty commission have recently put up 20 boxes for Barn Owls to nest in around grizedale forest, sounds good! I love Barn Owls
Well thats about all for now folks, enjoy the sun :-)
