My girlfriend and I spent the last weekend in the Lake District, specifically by Lake Windermere. Whilst there I took many photos that may come in use as reference imagery at some point;
The location was quite fantastic and inspiring, not just for the views, but also due to the importance of Beatrix Potter to the area. I never grew up reading Beatrix Potter so only had a faint idea of her work. The most surprising aspect that I discovered was that she illustrated her own stories. I had no idea of this prior to my visit to the Lakes. We visited not only her house but a gallery of her work which consisted of final pieces and in depth investigations into her work. She truly was a fantastic woman whose love of nature came through in her work. The only down point to the visit was that I was not allowed to take photographs in the Potter locations.
