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 wet wet wet Far Sawrey, boy its rained this week!!!

The new Peter rabbit and beatrix Potter gifts arrived yesterday in time for the summer holidays, they look lovely in the shop....

We went to the cash and carry this week and also had a large delivery of soft drinks, we are still awaiting a new drinks fridge. The above chewing gum stand finally arrived, we have been asking for one from Wrigleys for over 2 years! and finally its arrived

I am dog and cat sitting for a customer this week, the young dog managed to get a tin of opened cat food in its mouth and decided to play chase! With the ring can lurking in the dogs mouth I had no option nut to give chase, it truly was like a sketch out of Benny Hill me running aroud the garden chasing the dog... I soon realised that chasing it was making it worse and duly sat down and ignored it which was hard as their was some spots of blood, the postman however saved the day by arriving and causing a distraction to the dog, cat food now lived 7foot up! Animals!

With the poor weather this week its been a quiet week here in the shop, fingers crossed for some sunshine, thats about all for now folks :0)
