But to love nature...
pickBeautiful artwork. This book is told in four different stories in four different seasons. We see Hazel blowing off work to enjoy the summer fun, raising an owl in the spring, finding a new friend in autumn and getting lost in the winter. Lovely stories.

We've had glorious weather here all week, so lots of joy
1) Blue skies and 🌞
2) Birdsong 🐦🐦⬛
3) Planning and working on my garden. 👩🌾
4) Late night fire side chats with my teens. ❤️
5) This made me guffaw, as I have this skillset. She's gonna take out Wales when that corset pings off!!
pickIt took me a while to read this, but I really enjoyed it. Maitland mixes personal impressions of British forests with history, ecology, forestry and fairy tales, and does so in an engaging way.
I liked her retelling of the stories, some as storyteller variations of the original, some taking a different narrative perspective, some as sequels, and some reimagined in the modern day.
I particularly liked her Hansel and Gretel, the siblings grown,👇🏻
I've been cat-sitting for my son while he and his partner were visiting friends, and taking advantage of being in the city, I'm having breakfast at Gran T's in Ancoats.
I'm enjoying Gossip from the Forest, with its blend of nature writing & the author's riffs on fairy stories.
It's a two-bookmark-book: the red for the page I'm on, the black for the notes, in, If I do say so myself, an excellent example of #BookmarkMatching 🔖🔖😁
