a concept: me, in my cottage, in front of the wood stove, sipping tea. looking outside, my bees are pollinating my expansive garden. my goats and chickens and cows are happy and safe. i feel content with my choices and my future. i unconditionally and recklessly love myself. the local children believe i am a witch.
Beatrix Potter’s Hilltop Home. The lovely cottage garden is a haphazard mix of flowers, herbs, fruit
and vegetables. Bought in 1905 with
proceeds from her first book, the Tale of Peter Rabbit, she used Hill
Top itself and the surrounding countryside as inspiration for many of
her subsequent books. x
:’0 what a great combination!!! i cant get the ones around me to eat any fruits or veggies, but maybe i’ll try those!!!
The best horror writer of the 20th century you’ve probably never heard of was a British woman who looked like a benign but mildly dotty Hogwarts teacher. But do not miss the occult mischief behind those 1980s mom-glasses; in a fairly standard Angela Carter story, Harry Potter would be mauled to death by a werewolf before a pan-species initiation of Hermione’s pubescent sexual power. She made things weird like that, which is why she was great.
