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 Sawrey.apologies for blog absence, On saturday the 2nd of Aug at 6.30am I sat on the floor to put my trainers on, ten hours later I was still there in agony, my back went, its just about come back.....I too have returned from the happy cloud that was the pain killers........boy oh boy its been agony! Mother has run the shop like a trooper and fingers crossed normal service is resumed....
Seems to have been quite a week in the village, a fire on a boat on the lake, a cyclist who lost 2 finger on ferry hill as he approached the corner where the ferry sign is and the traffic seems to have gone a bit crazy, its been reported today by customers that 15 cars were parked between this village and near sawrey causing significant problems......quiet in the country hey!

We have started selling pork pies from savin hill farm in the lyth valley, they literally have sold out soon after being delivered, they look gorgeous and when the new batch arrive I shall take some pics...the pigs are rare breeds and are fed on the hops from the hawkshead brewery, happy pigs I bet!!! The range included the lyth valley porker and then a selection of pies with things on the top including apple, damsons, gooseberries, pate and cranberry and pate and stuffing YUM YUM!
Thats all for now folks hope this little bit of summer has made it to you :-)
