What a lovely history lesson. I love her illustrations & stories. I did not know about her studies of nature, being a conservationist & her sheep farming.

Your photos are interesting & a nice memory of your trip.

Thanks for sharing.

Beatrix Potter was such a great talent. Her stories are delightful and I have always loved the illustrations. Years ago I saw an exhibit of her work at the Morgan Library in NYC. What a talented artist! She contributed so much to our understanding of the natural world. Thank you for sharing your visit to Beatrix’s home. Very special!

Could I have permission to share this with my Mom outside of Substack?

Wow. A third wow today!!! What an amazing woman. My Mom read the Tale of Peter Rabbit to us often as small children.

How awesome you got to visit Cumbria and take pictures. Is this for REAL? Or is it a fantasy?
