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 Sunny Morning from Far Sawrey....its another hot one both inside and outside the shop.... Yesterday was the Windermere Air Show and the fruit kebabs were selling like hot cakes down by the lake shore for the second year running..... The air show was a display of helicopters... japanese Air Force and Some very brave men who jumped out of a Hercules Plane and did a marvellous display in the air........the little girl stood next to me with her family thought that the men in the air who approached the lake with flares which they were carrying were in fact their shoes on fire..........her dad hed to re assure her it was not their shoes and they were safe....it was quite funny as she did not believe him!!!


Despite the sun being out there are no strawberries today so I am shop bound.....The new coca cola fridge is due to arrive this week, we are not sure where its going to go as its bigger than the space we have!?!

The new Peter Rabbit Plant Pots are proving to be a great seller...Better hop off and go stock up the ice creams....
Happy Monday from Sawrey
