I have loved Beatrix potter since I was small, but she was more than a children's book writer and illustrator. She was also a sheep breeder and judge, and was the driving force behind bringing back the ancient Herdwick sheep breed to the Lake District, Cumbria, to be exact, where it survives and thrives still.
Just another multi-talented person known mainly for only one of her talents. She also fought for the preservation of Cumbrian farms and the way of life of the farmers and shepherds, some of whose families have lived on the land and been good stewards for a thousand years.

As I recall, she was born to wealthy parents who blocked her engagement and had the idea they should keep their daughters home as life-long servants! Beatrix earned her freedom with her writing and artwork.

And now for something completely Dickens:

@ElwoodBlues What selfish parents to want that kind of life for their daughters.
I would have had 'greater expectations' for myself'

I visited Hill Top, which she donated to the National Trust. Some of the actual views seem to leap straight from the pages of her little books😌

@NativePortlander1970 That was very good, I have it on dvd.
@Jemimapuddleduck My mother and I both watched it when it became availble on netflix a fee years ago, neither of us had dry eyes.
