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 a soggy sawrey! Its certainly raning and pouring here today. Today is the wedding of a woman who's family live at Cunsey just down the lane. It is reported that the church is filled with beautiful displays of english country flowers and the marque is up in the garden, fingers crossed that the rain stops sharpish!

It is also the Rose Queen gala in Hawkshead Village today, that all starts at 2pm and again they need some sunshine for the children.... All together now...."bring me sunshine!"

An ambulance has just gone through the village with its lights and sirens on, it seems to be happening more and more, not sure if they are using the ferry more as the roads get busier

Having a bit of a clean up this morning now the dust has settled from the new road surface

Thats about all for now folks :-)
