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 Moring from a cloudy but dry Sawrey....Finally the road markings have arrived in the village, just as the seasonal chaos ends hey! Better late than never tho!
In the process of re designing the shop we moved the chocolate stand to right in front of the counter, its made a huge difference to chocolate sales! Infact we are as low as we have ever been, need a cash and carry trip asap!
Last night was a beautifully clear night with a beautiful sky full of stars, I went for a walk around the village and it was so so so peaceful with the stars all twinkling
The above picture is of a giant reflective inflatable sculpture inspired by a raindrop and designed by local artist Steve Messam and its on the shore of Crummock Water here in the Lake District . The sculpture is designed to reflect the surrounding dramatic landscape to stunning effect and is the size of a three-storey building, Different hey!
Thats about all for now folks :0)
