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, we are moored just off far sawrey today! Well it feels like we are! The rain is still with us...


At the market this morning we finally got some english plums, they look delish! its a bit of a battle fighting the wasps here today, there seems to be more than ever...


A poster is going up in the window advertising a supper dance at the hawkshead village hall on the 4th of oct, there is a supper provided by super chef lisa woodhouse and a bar open until midnight, it should be a great night, its in aid of the british legion and tickets cost £9.50...


I note with great interest that Lakeland Segway, Sawreys new business venture, now has a video clip to watch, its on the tours page and it looks like great fun http://www.lakelandsegway.co.uk/
