NATURE WRITING
I write uplifting and inspiring articles that tap into nature, the seasonality of the land & the garden…
a writer of the outdoors.
Working with the seasons means there’s always a new and interesting story to tell, of plants, wildlife, colour, trees, hedgerows, texture, folklore, and tradition.
I’m interested in the lost countryside wisdom that dates back to a time when we were more connected to the land. There’s lots of ancient land lore, plant remedies, foraging knowledge, and traditions that we can learn from and apply to our modern lives. It all helps us connect with the natural world we’re part of.

Midsummer Magic
Glorious June. The start of Summer. Long drawn out days, short nights and a joyful easy living feel to life. The new fresh colours of spring expand to the rainbow hues of summer and dreams of sun drenched, flower filled gardens and lazy evenings lingering outdoors, come to fruition.
Enter High Summer
It feels like there’s a suspension of activity in August. The mad roller coaster of life halts at the top. Things slow. It coincides with the end of the school year and the anticipation of going off-routine for a few weeks. But out in Nature there is a slowing too. The growing has stopped and now it’s all about fruiting, setting seed and harvest.
Summertime & Honeysuckle
The summer season is well in its stride now. In schools across the country children are counting down to the end of term and people are looking forward to leaving their routines behind as they embrace the holiday season. Out in the countryside the early, fresh lime growth has ripening to deep green and flowers and herbs are plentiful.
Lammas. There’s still much more to come
Out in the fields the crops and hedgerows are ripening and the sun is shining – mostly! We’re standing on the threshold of the first of the ancient harvest celebrations, as August 1st welcomes the festival of Lammas
Month of Roses & Strawberries
June and we’ve reached the Summer Solstice - 21 June. The revered longest day when the light dominates the dark and the hours of night are short. Officially Midsummer and time of roses and strawberries
