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 Afternoon from Far Sawrey, the heavens have just opened and we had quite a downpour....the sun is now trying to pop out! Fickle weather!


It was a gorgous day yesterday and the fruity van was out at Near Sawrey, just about sold out of strawberries which is good and basking under the mid day sun they their aroma was soooooooooo nice, people said they could smell them from accross the road as they walked past buckle yeat...


Talking about Buckle Yeat they have an absolutely glorious display of englsh summer folwers in their garden at the moment, loads and loads of people were taking pictures, I forgot the camera!


The shop is quiet today, wednesdays usually are, although my boyfriend has sent me some lovely roses today so thats put a smile on my face, it was such a suprise when the lady walked in and asked for me!


We have been meeting suppliers of Beatrix Potter Gifts this week, we hope to be exanding out range real soon, the above pictures are of the sheepy gifts that we sell, they are made locally...
