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 still dry despite the forecast saying its going to be wet today, fingers crossed they got it wrong.
Our first batch of this years Jute bags have arrived today, although customers are very good at recycling their bags in Sawrey, just got to encourage the visitors to recycle too!
In the post yesterday we received plans for a conservation area appraisal of Far Sawrey, it appears that the conservation boundary is to be increased somewhat around the village. An exhibition has been arranged at the Braithwaite Hall in the village on Tues the 8th 10 - 2pm and Tues the 15th of July 4-8pm
the documents can also be found online at
I have learned from it that we have buildings in the village dating back to the 17th centuary! Interesting!
We have someone from COCA COLA coming to talk to us about drinks today, something we sell a lot of...
Thats about all for now folks :0)
