In Other News: The Royal Mint has come out with more Beatrix Potter coins; this time Benjamin Bunny, Jeremy Fisher, and Tom Kitten. Their popularity knows no bounds.

Webte Sky News has some lovely photos of the new coins with Visit the Society's web page: their corresponding little books. The Beatrix Potter Society One of Beatrix's Lakeland properties is for sale - at the time of writing, it is under offer. The house is at Coniston, one of a row that was built for the quarrymen who worked nearby. An Stay Connected article in the Westmorland Gazette, gives some of the history of the house. Pottering About Editor: Janet Sullivan Photo: Purple Bricks Susan Flaherty, a Society Member near Milwaukee, WI, found an article in the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel about Melanie Manuel, an entrepreneur who has started a vegan catering company named Beatrix Foods, with the tagline "Rabbit Food, Reinvented". Melanie lived in England as a child and enjoyed Beatrix's Tales. For her, they "made the natural world come alive, especially in the form of the main character, Peter Rabbit". Recently: The previous edition of "Pottering About" featured Michele Hill's new book, Stitching with Beatrix Potter. Since then, a rather exciting side story has come to light. In a blog on the C&T Publishing website, Michele tells how she became interested in the quilt on Beatrix's bed at Hill Top and wrote to the National Trust requesting permission to make a copy of it, and photos to use as a guide. To her surprise, the photos that arrived were not of the quilt that she remembered seeing. Instead, she had photos of the 1863 wedding quilt belonging to Beatrix's parents, rarely seen because it is so fragile. For the full saga, please read the blog, which also has photos of the original quilt and the replica. It is highly likely there will also be more about the quilt in the October Journal and Newsletter. The happy ending finds Michele's completed replica at Hill Top, a gift that will be displayed for visitors to enjoy - perhaps those attending the Autumn Meeting in the Lakes will be able to see it?! Books: The 100th Anniversary edition of Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes was released in the UK on April 27. The gold edition is available on amazon.uk and wordery.com (possibly elsewhere) - it may be limited to a couple of thousand copies. The 100 limited edition copies were to be exclusively available through the Beatrix Potter Gallery shop (in store or by phone) and it is quite possible they are already sold out. Updates: Glyn Gregory reports that the Beatrix Potter letters donated to the Armitt Museum by Hunter Davies are now on permanent display in the Museum as part of the "Image and Reality" exhibit. (Readers may remember the auction of Davies' collection, which took place last September). The letters relate to Beatrix's interest in the Lakeland Sheep Shows. The display also contains Show Schedules from the period which give a mention to Beatrix's entries for the shows. In the March issue, an update on red squirrels appeared in this space - this time, hedgehogs. Not the first time "Pottering About" has mentioned the plight of Mrs. Tiggy- winkle's family, but this is a happy note on the efforts of one village to be hedgehog-friendly. This BBC clip shows a few of the fifty-two hedgehogs from a sanctuary that were released in Burton Fleming, East Yorkshire. Another BBC clip gives three pointers on how to help the hedgehogs (more endearing footage). Hedgehogstreet.org has more tips and a map for hedgehog sightings and hedgehog highway locations. The British Hedgehog Preservation Society sells the little signs to mark hedgehog holes in fences - so they aren't mistaken for a hole that needs repairing. Photo: hedgehogstreet.org Coming Up: In France: On now, until July 24, "Jardins", an exhibit at the Grand Palais, Paris. An exhibition celebrating gardens in art includes images from The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies. It isn't known whether these are illustrations from the book or preliminary drawings and background sketches. If anyone is in Paris, or will be there on holiday, we would welcome more information. With works by Monet, Picasso, Matisse, Klimt and Cézanne in the show, Beatrix is in fine company, and it is surely a visual feast. In Japan: Until June 30, a "Peter Rabbit Hotel Carnival" in the Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo in honour of the 150th anniversary of Beatrix's birth. Yes, a little after the fact but never mind, look at the goodies on offer: Photo: The Japan Times The Japan Times reports that the "Peter Rabbit Dessert Party," has over thirty desserts created in honour of the characters from the Tales. "Homemade pies baked by Mrs. McGregor," "Tom the Cat Dumplings" and "Appley Dapply Jam Tart". Another of the hotel's restaurants is offering a "Mrs. Tittlemouse Teatime". The full article with details on prices and the hotel's address can be found here. Thank you to Connie Neumann and David Pepper for sending the link. In the UK: Somewhat short notice, but for those with children and grandchildren who are aspiring writers, the River & Rowing Museum and Frederick Warne & Co., (Penguin Random House) are coordinating a writing competition. School children are invited to create their very own adventurous tale, unleashing their imagination with 'The Tale of...'. Winners will have their stories turned into a real book, and win prizes for their school! The deadline is 12 May 2017. Find out more and download a competition pack from the River & Rowing Museum website. The River & Rowing Museum (Henley on Thames) will also have an exhibit, "Peter Rabbit: Mischief and Mayhem, open from June 24. Additional activities will include a family trail, and lectures (in July and September), given by experts from the BPS. Watch the Museum website and the next "Pottering About" for more details. Catalyst Science Discovery Centre, Widnes, Cheshire, has a Beatrix Potter exhibition that was to run until Easter but has now been extended until June. Featured is a print of Beatrix's illustration, "A Dream of Cheese", and interesting information about the Potter family's links to the area. The Runcorn and Wides World has an article about the exhibit. In the US: The Linda Lear Center Photo: lindalear.com June 9 to 11, a final reminder to register for the US Symposium "Beatrix Potter in New London on the Thames" at Connecticut College, New London, Connecticut. This is the first meeting held in the United States in five years. The weekend will include talks, panel discussions, and an exhibit in the Linda Lear Center. A great chance to see old friends and make new ones! Information and the registration form are available here and also on the Society's website. Registrations are still being taken, so please consider joining us - all are welcome, including non-Members! The happy group seeing to the final arrangements for the Symposium: Front, Kara Sewall; rear (left to right), Suzanne Terry, Barb Wilson, Lolly Robinson, Kathy Cole, Laura Jackson and Betsy Bray At the Theatre: In the UK: The Old Laundry Theatre, Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria "Beatrix Potter's Victorian Magic Lantern Show" This theatrical performance documents Beatrix's life from childhood to conservationist and farmer, accompanied by a slide show with Lake District scenes and original footage of Victorian London.

Soon after acquiring Hill Top Farm, Potter became keenly interested in the breeding and raising of Herdwick sheep , the indigenous fell sheep. In she bought a large sheep farm in the Troutbeck Valley called Troutbeck Park Farm , formerly a deer park, restoring its land with thousands of Herdwick sheep. This established her as one of the major Herdwick sheep farmers in the county. She was admired by her shepherds and farm managers for her willingness to experiment with the latest biological remedies for the common diseases of sheep, and for her employment of the best shepherds, sheep breeders, and farm managers. By the late s, Potter and her Hill Top farm manager Tom Storey had made a name for their prize-winning Herdwick flock, which took many prizes at the local agricultural shows, where Potter was often asked to serve as a judge. In she became President-elect of the Herdwick Sheepbreeders' Association, the first time a woman had been elected but died before taking office. Potter had been a disciple of the land conservation and preservation ideals of her long-time friend and mentor, Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley , the first secretary and founding member of the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty.
