Beatrix Potter's Hill Top Farm

This weekend we decided to drive to the beautiful Lake District, with our good friend Stephanie.  Our first stop was to see Beatrix Potter's Hill Top Farm.  What an incredible opportunity this was to see.  It was completely beautiful and magical (although it was tough to get photos due to the pouring rain).

You should go watch the movie "Miss Potter" to get a better idea of this place.

More of the Lake District to come...

Melford Hall (Saturday part one)

This beautiful home was devastated by fire in 1942, but was restored by the Hyde Parker family.  A relative and regular visitor to this house was the famous Beatrix Potter; author of The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck, and more.

It was especially neat to see the original Jemima Puddleduck from which the story was created.  Now hopefully I'll be able to visit her actual house sometime when I'm ready for a five hour drive.
