Dear Miranda, what a joy to have you write us such a wonderful Autumn letter. Quinces and apples and rosehips have all been a delight here. I agree that the seasons are passing so quickly which I think is due to our losing time to sit and stare now that we can do so much more but one of the best seasons is to come and I can't wait to see what further delights you bring us from your gorgeous Yorkshire home. Have a wonderful time until you write again, Teresa 🍂☕️🫖🍂

Beatrix Potter videos brought me here. Lovely.

What a delightful letter, Miranda! Loved Beatrix's books as a child and often read them to my daughter when she was a little girl. Would love to visit her house someday! The deer park reminds me of my neighborhood except our deer here in the mountains of Virginia look quite different. Love to see how you and your mum are enjoying autumn. My husband and I took advantage of the very warm weather today to plant tulip bulbs. Blooms to look forward to next spring! Thank you so much for sharing the beauty of Yorkshire!

Well done, Miranda. You captured the essence of autumn beautifully through both the camera and the pen. I also want to say how much I am enjoying your letter series. Last night as I was reading the end of The Brontes biography, I thought about just how much we know about our past based on all of those letters our beloved authors left behind. Now, as I watch you carry on this tradition, I'm encouraged to pick up pen and paper as well.

Visiting her Cottage here, was just like stepping back in time & being with her! Beyond this, your filming of this beautiful countryside, with such pretty flowers, lovely trees & foliage, is just breathtaking!

I came across your channel recently, and I don't think it was just by chance!! I absolutely adore your video style, it's so beautiful and unique! You're visiting all my dream spots too, I can't wait until I finally get to see Beatrix Potter's home through my own eyes. This has even inspired me to finally get over my fears and start a channel of my own

This is my favorite “My Dear Friend” with the addition of your home landscape! Thank you, Miranda.

Miranda, if I may call you that, this was absolutely delightful! Your letter writing truly reflects the joy of writing and receiving letters. Your style is so personable and descriptive that it really connects with the reader, or in this case, the listener. I have never given up letter writing. I’ve written them since I was twelve. I am advancing toward my seventh decade, through God’s Grace. I don’t have many correspondents, but a few do respond. That’s enough. I enjoy the writing itself. That may be because I have journaled also since I was twelve. The photography in your videos is book worthy. And it is delightful how you share your joy and enthusiasm for the world around us. Oh, by the way, I have become even more of a book hoarder since discovering your channel. A truly blissful dilemma on my part. Thank you for sharing your love of reading and the pleasures in your life and your sweet mother’s. I feel as if I have two very special friends in England now and that is because we share the title of being bibliophiles. May God bless you both. Best wishes from Alabama, USA. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Your celebration of Yorkshire and, in fact, the North in general is really inspiring to me. I feel so much pride in my home county of Lancashire and our spectacular landscapes. Have you ever visited Lancaster? Ashton Memorial is truly breathtaking and offers magnificent views across to Morecambe Bay and the Lakes beyond. The Trough of Bowland and Clitheroe in the shadow of Pendle Hill is also hugely worth visiting. Forest of Bowland is home to some of the finest pubs and restaurants in the country.

Thank you! It's amazing, I love your letters so much. I've watched one from London several times and I'll watch it again & again. I love Beatrix Potter's style, her illustrations are fabulous. I always introduce my students to her works within the course on British illustrators. Couldn't help noticing daisies, i.e. one of the most famous wallpaper patterns designed by W. Morris. BTW, I read in the introduction to 'Diary of a Provincial Lady' that E.M. Delafield also wrote 'The Provincial Lady in Russia' which I'm curious about now. I'm looking forward to the weekend in order to read it. Thank you for your book club🍁🍁🍁
