Yew Tree Farm – Coniston, England

It’s Wednesday, so it’s photo day – though this one won’t be very “Wordless Wednesday”. Today, I’m heading back to the fun we had on our England tour and our stop at Yew Tree Farm. Yew Tree Farm is located in the beautiful Lakes District and was previously owned by Beatrix Potter! In fact, because her […] Read more…
