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 Far Sawrey, as you can see from the pic, its a damp start to the day today... The bank holiday people have gone and the village seems much quieter this week.

This weekend there is a BBQ at the playground in Near Sawrey, it is to raise money for the Tarn Hill Trust and starts at 2pm on Sunday, All are welcome and its a great village event which raises money for the playground.
