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....its still raining...say no more!

Already today there has been 4 drowned people in asking for directions for Hill Top, it happenes every friday when the house is shut, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I tell people the gardens and shop remian open, its better telling them on the way there than face the wrath which I have faced on many occassions on their vary disappointed way back! A customer who came in the shop the other week told me he was blogging his way around the lakes, there is a link to his blog and his take on fridays in sawrey http://www.around-england.co.uk/blog/?tag=near-sawrey. I note in the Westmoreland gazette this week that next year Hill Top will be open to the public from Feburary rather than Easter

The veggies remain tucked up in the shed keeping dry until the rain stops, I have posted a little video of this weeks weather, a picture says a thousand words hey ;0)

Benny had a day at the vets yesterday, he had a general anaesthetic as he has not been well, whilst he was under the clipped his toenails and sorted out his teeth , it was funny when he came home last night, he was slightly dazed and confused...well thats about all for now, hope the my maiden video posting works
