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 blue sky morning here in Far Sawrey. Its fruity market day and outside is smelling sweet today :0)

The above picture is of a dog who has been to stay in the village this week, quite unbelievably this dog is the exact same breed as Benny's mum(a nova scotia duck tolling retriever) http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/novascotiaducktolling.htm!!! The ears give it away! This lovely dog who visited the shop daily is called Quito (I think thats how you spell it!)

Hill Top is closed today as its friday so the road is much quiter.... We are having some work done on the roof window today, slight problem when it was disocvered the window frame is all metal. but with a bit of thinking outside the box I sit here watching a new window opener is being fitted! Finally we will have some air circulated around the shop....A roof slate has also been discovered out of place, good job this is a village of men that can!!!

Thats about all for now folks, HAPPY FRIDAY
