Slow Seasons
Slow Seasons: A Creative Guide to Reconnecting with Nature the Celtic Way | Rosie Steer
7 posts | 1 to read
Woman's Own Book Club 2023 'A truly beautiful book. Rosie's writing makes me want to close my laptop, step outside, and appreciate the magic that each season brings' Jessica Elliot Dennison In her late-twenties, feeling utterly overwhelmed by the pace of modern city life, Rosie Steer found solace in the traditions she had been brought up with, influenced by her Scottish roots, that celebrated nature and observed the small steady shifts in the seasons. The Celtic Wheel of the year is an ancient seasonal cycle that aligns with solar events the solstices, equinoxes and their midpoints. For each mini-season, Rosie shares nature notes for what we can look out for as the days get warmer or cooler, the nights longer or shorter, alongside activities, things to make, flowers or fruit to forage, seasonal recipes to enjoy and a modern take on the traditional celebrations. As the Wheel turns to Samhain on 31st October, we can enjoy foraging apples and berries to make Hedgerow jelly, watch the leaves turn golden, collect pine cones for a Pine cone garland and celebrate pumpkin season with Pumpkin and root veg chilli and Chocolate cake with pumpkin curd. By slowing down and paying attention to the ebbs and flows of nature, we can find moments of calm whenever we need them.

Happy Imbolc day 🍀💚🍀
I've just been for a wander around my garden to see what's showing signs of life. The apple blossom is budding, snowdrops and daffodils creeping out of their winter slumber.
I couldn't resist bringing a tiny bouquet of hellebores and snowdrops indoors to welcome the 1st day of spring.

We have bracing Arctic temperatures in the UK atm, so I'm looking forward to hearty stews and soups, maybe a few hot chocolates to keep the cold at bay. 😋
