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.............when I was having a sort out yesterday I noticed how many minty things we sell here in the shop, it suprised me! But customers like all things minty so we try to supply!

It was a steady away day in this village yesterday, quite a few people out walking, I feel that now the phenomenon of the Miss Potter film has died down more walkers are heading back to claife heights.....Miss Potter pilgrims tended to arrive by car, go to hill top and then drive on to the next location and there did not seem to be many fell walkers about.....anyway....we will see what this season brings....

Benny is at the vets today, he has been off colour for a few days and has not been eating and drinking, he does not like going to the vets :0(

We placed an order with Suma the wholefood co operative last week, it did not arrive, we put it down to the bank holiday,when it did not arrive yesterday(a week later) we called them up to discover they had got one digit wrong in our account number and our order had been dispached to suffolk! Oooooooopz....we have had a call this mornign to say its arrived back at their warehouse and will be dispached today for tomorrow! Finger crossed! anything could happen between halifax and sawrey ;0)

Happy Wednesday from Sawrey
