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"

Greetings from Sawrey, apologies for the blog absence, the bank holiday week has been absolutely crazy and I have not have time to have a drink never mind a moment on the computer,however we now have a bit of a lull after the storm....although it has been nice to be busier this week. One day 50 scouts descended on the shop!!!! They spotted the sweets in jars and there was I bagging up sweeties like they were going out of fashion, think I even woke up adding up!
Its friday which means its fruity day again, the strawberries smell sooooooooo good today, Raspberries were on offer so I picked up a box of those too
Today is the beginning of the Holker Hall Festival so I imagine it will be quieter today as Hill Top is closed on a friday
Had a scary squirrel moment on the way back from picking up the fruit, the woman in the car infromt of me broke suddenly to aviod a squirrel in the road back from Newby Bridge, I had to break sharpley too and the strawberries went for a bit of a flying lesson in the back of the van! Its like a fruit smoothie in their at the moment, better go clean up
Happy Friday from Sawrey :-)
