Thanks for reading @c0ff33a I'm glad you enjoyed it.
It is such a beautiful part of our country and thanks to her generosity both we and future generations will get to see it as she did. From that very castle.
You are lucky to have it on your doorstep.
I never knew she was a scientist as well. I loved how you weaved the story of her life into your visit to the castle. Great post!
Beatrix was an amazing person and her family were very supportive of her studies which was pretty open minded in that kind of society.
I'm glad you found out something new about this remarkable woman.
She finally got recognition for her ground breaking scientific work.
This is perfect! Well wriiten and you have done her story justice! Your photographs of her home and the surrounding area bring her story to life for me. Thank you so much for putting this together. I'm resteeming and sending a
!Tip
Thank you Mel, it's been bugging me for weeks to get this written and I could have gone on for ages about Beatrix. She is an inspirational person in so many fields.
Knowledge is power and she demonstrated that concept perfectly.
Faced with ignorance and prejudice she side stepped the lot of them. 🙌
I'm glad you enjoyed this post and thanks for the tip too. 😋
I'm off for a Wednesday walk to see if I can spot that woodpecker in the local woods. 😊
I think I may have found the best cafe on earth :)
and.. I originally read "Beatrix" as Brexit haha.
Brexit Potter! haha I like it. The coffee shop is pretty epic as coffee shops go but the comfy chairs have a long way to go! 😂
OMG haha. I guess those victorian women could sit on anything and it'd be comfy :)
They look like mini hover craft. Jezz, how on earth did they go to the loo??
Who would design such a dumb outfit? Was Karl Largerfeld around in those days? He looks old enough lols
Hehe. Perhaps they could just "go to the loo" while standing there. Nobody would know until the move :)
Largerfeld was born in the 30's - Seems fashion had become more sensible by then hehe.
Yeah the 1730's haha.
These dresses look more like it...if you are stick thin! haha
😂😂😂👍🏻

Howdy sir molometer! wow, what an amazing story of an amazing woman! I loved the story because so many people would have given up after being shunned like that! And she ended up helping so many and preserving that sheep species and the whole area, it's inspiring. Great job sir!
Yep. Beatrix was quite an indomitable character. I'm sure it would have been great to meet her in person. She was so down to earth but nobody's fool. Glad you enjoyed her story.
A truly inspiring person who actually made the world the way she wanted it in spite of so much opposition.
yes sir molometer, you nailed it by calling her an inspiration, what a role model!
and you did such a great job of presenting her story.
Its beautiful and great place to visit.. thank you for sharing @molometer :)
