The World of Beatrix Potter


Young Rascal Reporter at Large here!!
Today we headed out to the land of Beatrix Potter World in the Lake District.  Often places like this, where magical worlds in books are brought to life, let me down because my imagination creates a much grander and more magnificent world than some attraction would, so I was not expecting much.

Boy, was I surprised when I walked into the world I'd pictured for some time.  It was wonderful! Almost spot on, everything was perfect!
 Here are Peter and Benjamin Rabbit peeking through the window to the kitchen- where I sat down and took it all in (also pretending that I was Cotton Tail- my favourite of the Rabbit family ever since my Mom read me my first Peter Rabbit story when I was barely four).
 Here is Mr. Tommy Brock- probably scheming against Mr. Tod (or thinking of how to get Ben's kids back)
Tommy and Mr. Tod in a bit of a scruff.  Do you notice the colour combos between the outfits- I think they are extremely colour coordinated.
 Mr. Tod looking awfully sharp, but devious at the same time.


Copper kettles, pub decoration.
What you see before your eyes are kettles I thought were awful cute, and they made my imagination go wild (I just had to rub them to make sure there wasn't a genie in them, there were no genies and good thing- I have no closet space for any more shoes!)

So far England has been a real treat- Beatrix Potter, picnics in the sky, copper kettles and lots of sheep! What else does England have in store for us BP's?
