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 wet but mild Far Sawrey, the heavens have just opened and the sky is quite dark. The free range eggs from graythwaite look absolutely lovely today, some are speckley and some are blue! What a treat!

A blind couple who stay in the village for their holidays popped in to see us at the shop this week with their beautiflu guide dog Kerry, sadly it was raining on they day they came up, I am however hoping that the Strawberry Jam with Black Pepper that they bought will remind them of sunnier days in the lake district when they have it.

No strawberry selling this week as the weather has been somewhat unpredictable. However I only have permission to sell fruit for a certain number of days during the year so I am trying to work it out so I am there when it gets busy and people will be hungry for some lush soft fruit.

We have a bumper crop of mixed peppers on offer here today for only 10p each, if you like roasted peppers this is the place to be!!!!

Well folks thats about all for now :0)
