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 a slighty overcast Far Sawrey, despite the weather it has been quite a busy morning in the shop, lots of people going home and coming in to take groceries with them which is nice....

Tomorrow is the May Fayre in the village and a new May Queen will be crowned followed by dancing around the maypole, a good old village day for all ages, there is also a raffle some stalls and refreshments. The procession sets off from Near Sawrey at 2pm

I have taken a picture of the new sorbets that arrived from English Lakes Ice Cream and I can say hand on heart that it is absolutely delicious and perfect refreshment for a sunny day, we now just need some sunshine!

A gentleman has just been in the shop who has been coming on holiday to Sawrey for over 50years! Amazing, but understandable as Sawrey is such a special place

Thats about all for now folks, its a rollover on the national lottery I have just head, good luck!

Love From Sawrey
