As some of you will know, I had the pleasure to visit Ambleside, home of Charlotte Mason’s House of Education twice over the last couple of months. Whilst there, I spent time documenting one of the student’s Nature Notebooks from the Armitt archives.
It is with much joy that I share with you a PDF of the Nature Notebook of Monica Watson who was a student at Miss Mason’s House of Education.
This is a free download, but I would ask that you consider making a donation, however small, to the Armitt Library in Ambleside, England. The library is responsible for the conservation of the archives from both Miss Mason herself, and the House of Education.
You may donate here at the Armitt website: Armitt Donations
(Please do not send donations to myself, donate directly to the Armitt, thank you.)
Nature Notebook from Charlotte Mason’s House of Education
Armpit archives had me a bit confused 🙂
Yes! I had spotted it and edited 🙂
Thank you for making this available to us all. It is a lovely piece of work, with many encouraging ideas and lovely poems as well as such carefully done paintings. I wonder if you have any idea how old Monica was when she did this, or was she a teacher?
Thank you, Gill. Monica was a student teacher.
