I recently discovered a family connection with Beatrix Potter...really!

I was most impressed and felt I had to share this with you.

Beatrix Potter is a world famous children's books author and I have a fervent admiration for her.

So I was blown away to discover that my Uncle John who lives in The Lake District, used to live next door to her.

They used to chat and leave notes for each other. Amazing. I wonder if he ever caught Peter Rabbit in Mr McGregor's garden?

Unfortunately no he hasn't saved any of them!

I guess he never realised how famous she would become. If only...

Whilst over on my hols I called into Bowness-on-Windermere and couldn't help but purchase some adorable baby clothes from the Beatrix Potter shop.

I spent large on Miss Freya, hard to resist...
