On a breezy yet clear afternoon—in view of the verdant hills, quaint rock walls, and grazing sheep, and surrounded by the garden first established by Beatrix Potter herself—Susan and other attendees come together for a picnic on the cottage grounds.

What a lovely article in the September issue and also very ironic too – I was in the midst of reading “The Tale of Castle Cottage” by Susan W. Albert when I received my subscriber copy of Victoria ! The book is modeled after Beatrix Potter and her life in Near Sawrey !
Susan Branch has written multiple books but I admit to reading only one of them and it was more of a travelogue diary (Falling in Love with The English Countryside) which I enjoyed immensely and would love to read more of her work !
I can think of nothing more enjoyable than a good and proper picnic in the English countryside complete with a Fortnum and Mason wicker hamper, tartan wool throws, and wonderful sausage rolls or Cornish Pasties to enjoy while soaking in the glorious surroundings !
This calls for a pot of tea so I must sign off now to enjoy the wonderful mood this article brought me as well as ALL the articles in this September British issue.
God bless !
