Beatrix's house - by John Runions
Beatrix Potter lived and wrote and illustrated in Hill Top House at Near Sawrey near Hawkshead in the Cumbrian Lakes of England. This is her front room and, on the right, you see her chair with her gardening hat and shoes (the mud's still on them).
You can just imagine Mrs. Potter at work when you visit. The characters Tom Kitten and his family, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Samuel and Anna Maria Whiskers, and Pigling Bland and his brother Alexander all lived here. We didn't see Peter Rabbit anywhere but I'm sure he was about.
National Trust.
