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 a dry sawrey! Woke up to complete cloud cover, sailed across the lake to get the veggies and it was a clear blue sky on the way towards Kendal.....(Come and get yer ice creams!!!)

Today sees the second edition of the art of seduction fortnightly, this copy is vibrating ;0)

The shop fitting is coming along nicely, still deciding on paint colours, I have been reading about the psycology of colour, green seems to be the colour that inspires calmed relaxed feelings, does calm and relax = customers buying I wonder?!? Coca cola sells well and their fridge is red....Hmmm not sure if red would suit the shop walls!!!
This weekends sees the SAWREY MARROW SHOW!!! its sponsered by Buckle Yeat Guest House, there is not much Marrow talk this year, so I am not sure if we have a bumper crop or if the weather has inhibited growing....The show is in the village Hall from 2pm on Saturday...
Sat in my new seat its interesting to see just how many people walk past the shop, stop and take a picture of the shop and say how cute it looks.....cute it is but it wont be cute if ya dont come in and spend 50p!!!
Happy Thursday from Sawrey :0)
