Today, July 28th, is Beatrix Potter's birthday. Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) is a favorite at The Corgyncombe Library.In the photograph above, Tasha Tudor's Welsh Breakfast Tea, served in a Benjamin Bunny cup, is enjoyed at afternoon tea. Benjamin Bunny is wearing a tam-o'-shanter and carrying the red spotted handkerchief that he used to gather onions in. The same scene is on the cover of Beatrix Potter's "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny". The tussie mussie on the table has bee balm in the center, surrounded by thyme, rosemary, lady's mantle, forget-me-nots, and lavender.

Diane and Sarah are admirers of Beatrix and feel a kinship with her. What fun it would have been to take tea with Beatrix and discuss bunnies, gardens, ducks, old houses, old barns, and other aspects of country life and landscapes. A cozy afternoon tea is a perfect time to give thought to Beatrix Potter!
