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, we had a light shower about an hour ago but the day looks set to be filled with blue skies and sunshine :0)
Picked up some gorgeous local new potatoes yesterday, just a quick rub off of the muck and they taste scrumdiddlyumptious!
I have found a great website for a course on learning how to smoke food in cumbria! I love smoked food but was really disappointed when I found out that a lot of smoked food has not been near a smoke house and the smoky flavour is sprayed on some foods! The place that teaches you to smoke food is called Smoky Jo's at Shap just north of kendal... http://www.smokyjos.co.uk/
Sold some ice creams at 9am this morning! Thats a bit of a record I think! Magnums for breakfast!
Thats about all for now folks :0)
