  • I have found out that there is two versions of Perfect Day, there is no difference in the lyric or anything. But it's a difference in sound and instruments. And this one sounds so much better!
    What I find sad is that this version is almost impossible to find!
    Video Audio: 128 KBPS - 44KHZ - STEREO

    My mother used to love Beatrix Potter and sadly passed away when I was 15, the song reminds me of her every time I listen and brings back the good memories as a child, sat watching the tales in those crisp autumn/winter days - I proposed to my Girlfriend (of 10 years) a 5 minute walk from Beatrix's Hilltop House in the Lake District 1 week ago, looking out over Esthewate water. The song now has a whole new meaning, grown man in my 30s and it makes me tear up every time!

      One of my dearest possessions is a set of 12 stories set in a presentation box, given to me by grandma and grandad way back in the early 90s. It's one of the very few objects from then that still glows with that erstwhile childlike wonder, and I immediately smell their lawn's petrichor of an Autumn evening, and watching Pigling Bland on crackly recorded VHS beginning his slow walk into that ominous valley alone. It's wonderful that we all have Beatrix to thank for these shared moments in history. Godspeed to our grandmas, anppd hooray for their impeccable taste x

    I’m 58 now. We used to rent the VHS tapes of this series when my daughter was young. We lived in the country and didn’t have broadcast tv or cable at home. She loved the Beatrix Potter stories and I would often watch them with her, and read the books to her as well. She grew up to be an amazing, caring and smart person. I feel that not being over exposed to television was partly why she is so stable in a crazy world. Thanks for posting this. It brings back good memories.

    The rain has moved on
    And left a new day
    Nothing seems to move, everything is still
    It's just a perfect day
    The shadows and light
    That move with the wind
    Hidden violets grow splashed with summer spray
    Just another perfect day
    On the wild and misty hillside
    Fear is nature's warning
    Hunger here is never far away
    And all of this world
    Is for children who play
    Days that never end, always should remain
    Another perfect day

I was born back in 2005 (am 14 now), and my parents owned a collectible double pack of Beatrix Potter's Peter rabbit animated episodes. (It had both volumes :)) I use to watch them all the time growing up. Only recently did we find them again, and this song is one of my all-time favorites. It honestly makes me sad to know that there will never be this quality of music in the later years. I seriously doubt that any of my generation today knows what this song is or where to find it. Thank's for finding this version of the song... Seriously though. I listened to the one on Spotify and it just didn't feel the same. So thank you, you wonderful soul. And everyone else who listens to this song in the stressful and worrisome year of 2020, I bless you and I hope you have good luck.

    I was captivated by this incredible song the very first time I heard it on our PBS station when we discovered the Beatrix Potter series. Our kids were 4 and 5 at the time. We were older parents in our early forties. I couldn’t believe how much the song affected me. It still does! Guys aren’t supposed to tear up, but I did and still do every time I hear it! I listen to it periodically whenever I want to take a break from this world that is losing the innocence that the series and this song evokes. Miriam Stockley has the voice of and angel and the song itself, the instrumentation, and the arrangement is as close to perfect as possible! I looked at our kids and those kids dressed in period clothing in the wonderful live action shots and I wanted the same kind of world for them. I’m still wishing!!!
    Perfect Day is the perfect song!

    My grandparents lived up north quite near to Beatrix Potters house, and we would travel all the way up from Kent to see them every summer. Long summer days that seemed to go on forever. I used to love watching all the Beatrix Potter films as a little girl, and hearing this music brings it all back. I miss those days, and I miss my grandparents and also my dad so much!

    As she sits down at her desk two write and pours a cup of tea, she begins talking to Peter, her rabbit who is waitng on her desk helpfully nudging and nuzzling papers and pens. This converasation introduces the character and the associated animated episode begins. Throughout this live-acting intro, there is a kind of Perfect Day reprise playing. After the episode finishes, it goes back to Beatrix leaving her house to post letters to children, throughout which the actual song is played. :)

    It's been nigh on a decade and a half since my parents first took me to the Lakes for a holiday. How days were simpler compared to my adult life, what I wouldn't give to be able to endlessly walk the fells now. And with all the memories this song brings back this must be at the forefront of any "Lakeland Playlist"

    This song is so haunting and beautiful. My brother reminded me that we watched the series about Beatrix Potter and Peter Rabbit when we were kids at our grandparents(I’m seeing a lot of other people say they watched this show with their grandparents too!❤️)
    This is probably why we love rabbits!🤣We both have had several over the years as pets, probably thanks to these stories. Anyways, he pulled up an episode today and then it got me googling this song. It’s so nostalgic. I remember my brothers and I would sit wrapped up in blankets, eating snacks and playing games while watching it. When I was listening to this and it got to the part about “the world is for children who play” it made me start crying. My youngest brother died going on 3 years ago at 22 and I miss him every day.
    I wish I could go back to when we were kids and we just played and didn’t have a care in the world. Wish I could talk to him and give him one last hug.

      Listening to the song and reading this made me cry. I'm so sorry for your loss. My mother lost her little brother when he was 25, around the time this series started. I wasn't born until two years later. She said to me last year (when our beloved cat had to be put to sleep at the age of 19) "it gets easier over time, but it never goes away"

    Earlier this exact year, I lost my beloved grandmother due to poor health conditions. Even though it was inevitable, her passing left a deep scar in my heart, and the same could be said for everyone else who knew her.
    Before her passing, she showed a huge appreciation for those old Peter Rabbit animated shorts, I never quite understood why until very recently. Listening to this just brings back memories of my time with her, every time we went camping, every time she took me and my brother out to swim, and every time I came over to see her.
    I miss you grandma...but I promise...we will see each other again...in the next life.

    I feel like this song is about how perfect the world is when you're in your youth. Hardly any troubles, hardly any stress. You're free from everything. And you're in a bubble, shut away from the real world. That is until when you get older, life becomes more complicated and you begin to see it wasn't so perfect after all.
    It's like praying that your young and happy days could last forever. And asking for the happy days to never end, sadly, when you become an adult, things change and you can never go back to how things were. No matter how much you wish, the perfect days don't last forever, they don't always stay.

    When I was 4, my Mother and Grandmother took me down to Yorkshire. We stayed in a little, secluded cottage in the middle of a moor that overlooked a wide, barren valley with a small river running through the middle of it. We would explore the nearby hills and glens during the day as they would read the Beatrix Potter stories to me at night. I don't know what sparked my sudden midnight interest in this song - the alcohol, the desperate craving for nostalgia. Whatever the reason, it made me think of that time when I was 4; when I would feed the neighbouring horses wild apples plucked from the forest; when I would listen to the soft beat of the sound of rain splash gently against the windowsill, watching clouds traverse the misty moors; when I would cuddle into an armchair by the fire and listen to the my Mother and Grandmother tell me the story of Pigland Bland, Peter Rabbit or Jemimah Puddleduck. I won't ever get those memories back. But I can't be grateful enough to have had such a wonderful, caring family who imbued me with such a love for literature and the natural world.
