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 far Sawrey, its dry!!!!!! The rain has left the village for a minute.... film crews were out in near sawrey very early this morning, looked like they were filming castle cottage in the background, it was about 7.30am!

The ferry man has just reported that the reason the ferry has been off more than usual this week is due to one fo the engines breaking down, apparently it can run on one engine, guess it would be more of a problem if it was an aeroplane! As I type the problem has not been fixed so no idea whether it will be on during the day. The village becomes a little like an island surrounded by a draw bridge when the ferry is off... fandabbydozy place to be stranded tho!

I have been absent this week due to my jaw problems, amazing how damage inflicted upon you three years ago can re surface and its like three years worth of work has never happened, today is pretty pain free tho :0)

The ghanaian students and teachers who were staying in the village left this morning, its rained so much when they were here, one of the children took our blog address, HELLO GHANA!

Well thats about all for now folks, Happy Saturday :0)
