    About this ebook

    A celebration of the natural world at our doorstep - from the microcosm of the garden and the joy of growing, to the wider landscape of the weather and the seasons.

    This collection of poetry explores the joy and the sorrow, wonder and despair of our human relationship with the fields, lanes and land, as well as the creatures that live in them.
