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 soggy soggy soggy sawrey... the rain came and has stayed and is showing no signs of leaving. The bank holiday was a complete wash out, there were a few wet walkers out braving the downpours, but not many passing here!
The above picture is of Meg, a new puppy who lives in the village, she is about 4 months old now and is all legs, she is the youngest dog to use the new chain I think!
Something interesting happened in the village the other night, I was just getting ready for bed and out of the window I could see a torch near the Hill Top Shop, it stood out because it was sooooo dark, it seemed to be looking at the building and it went on for about 5minutes, all went dark and then I saw it again, I thought Hmmmmmm this is dodgy so I phoned Anthony at the Tower Bank Arms Pub as his beer garden backs onto where thew torch was.....
he duly went out with a torch to find 2 adults and 2 children scaling the wall to try and see Hill Top at night! He warned them the police and the helicopter were on the way ;0) only joking, seems they were camping just down the road and fancied a look, now't so queer as folk hey
Well folks thats about all for now, off to find my web feet ;0)
