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 Sawrey, its a wet saturday here today...lots of damp walkers popping in for a sandwich...We have starting selling gorgeous sandwiches from those clever people at the Bridge Cafe at Newby Bridge who create some tantalising sandwiches such as "Bill Aireys Lamb and Mint Sauce" "Cumberland Mustard and Jalepeno Pepper" "Crispy Bacon and Free Range Egg"
yummy yum yum....
A customer has just been in and told me that a new holiday cottage has opened for business in the village, it can be found at http://www.lakedistrictloveshack.com/ I remember the owners coming into the shop whilst trying to seek planning permission to build themselves a home and having an opening day, funny how there was no mention of their plans to let it out, not sure what the council planners might think, especially as there is such a shortage of affordable housing in this area
We are in the third week of the car ferry being off for refurbishments so the road outside is spooky quiet! Two weeks to go and counting!
I was speaking to the farmer from Hill Top today and all of his lambs are now born, they are an absolute pleasure to watch.
Thats about all for now, Ive asked the weather man for a sunny summer in sawrey :0)
