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"

Greetings from sawrey, its a looooooooovely blue sky day here today and it is extremely warm. I went for a walk around Buttermere on thursay and managed to sprain my ankle, with a two mile walk back to the car, OUCH is an understatement, made it back, popped into the tower bank arms for some pain relief, then applied ice and some elevation and the rest as they say is history.......

I cannot post a new pic today as mum has gone to a family party in yorkshire for the weekend and has taken the camera....

As the 1litre tubs of Mango Sorbet from English lakes ice cream are proving a good seller we have decided to start selling them in the small tubs with a spoon in them and they are proving even more popular, I have sold 7 on the trot this afternoon!

My partner Michael is here for the weekend helping me lift and carry things so thats good.... BILLY and SKY, the two cutest puppies in the village are 1 tomorrow so we wish them a very happy birthday, I think I have a pic of them taken earlier in the year which I will try find and post on here

Tomorrow is the BBQ and Sawrey Sports Day at the Playground in Near Sawrey and the fun starts at 2pm.....we have donated some sweeties and a jar so the children can guess how many sweets are in the jar......

Thats about all for now folks, HAPPY SATURDAY :0)
