Beatrix Potter's Life P.2




Pleasee keep following me on my 
famous Gardners journey. 



Beatrix Potter's Cumbrian life
in the beautiful Lake District. 



A view Beatrix Potter
would have admired




 Beatrix Potter has become 'an icon' 
and a special woman throughout history 
and to the present day. 





Beside Derwent Water (Lake)


Her youth was relatively 
comfortable and she travelled
and holidayed in many places. 

This shows that her Father had
a good income and this enabled
the family to get away from 
London and be in more pleasant 
surroundings.
   
She strikes me as a very unusual
person from a young age. She was 
always intrigued by animals, insects, 
fungi and so much more.

Beatrix Potter became a 
real plants woman
and was able to create
almost anything.

 She was also a farmer
and  nothing seemed 
to phase her.

She was a real 
entrepreneur and 
was so ahead of her
time. 





She fascinates me and
so many people still. 


Being strong minded 
as a woman was perhaps
quite unusual in her 
day. I am sure she 
inherited a lot 
of this from her father.



with whom she had a good relationship.
He was a greate role model for her.








One of Beatrix Potter's
stories was based here














Beatrix Potter  is such a legend. Her writings 
are loved by so many people throughout the world. 


But she has left it a better place with many 
National Trust  properties all over the 
United Kingdom for us to enjoy and revisit.




Everyone has some link
to her with her famous
'Peter Rabbit' story and other 
stories.
