I am a nature writer and novelist, and I’m lucky enough to be able to walk out of my cottage straight into Suffolk’s beautiful open countryside. For six months – as spring 2020 broke over the British Isles, and summer turned to autumn – I documented the wonder and richness of the natural world and the changing seasons and brought the outdoors into as many locked-down homes as I could.

  • My absolute favourite podcast

    This podcast has been my absolute favourite since I discovered it a few weeks ago and I don’t want it to end! I really hope Melissa does another series. It’s so calming and relaxing and I love that each time she starts off by asking ‘how are you doing?’ Just love everything about this and thoroughly recommend it.
