If you are in the area, I'll be giving a talk on Adrian Bell's seasonal quartet of his Countryman's Notebooks (published by @slightlyfoxed.bsky.social) at The Cut in Halesworth as part of the The Horkey - a one day festival celebrating the end of harvest time.

Yesterday we had the great pleasure of teaming up with Bodies in the Bookshop to launch the Slightly Foxed summer publications. ⁠
⁠
It was such a delight to welcome new and familiar faces to St Boltoph’s Church in Cambridge to mark issue 86 and SFE No.71: Nigel Slater’s childhood memoir Toast. ⁠

I wrote about one of my favourite writers of rural life, Adrian Bell, and how he brought poetry to the local newspaper someflowerssoon.substack.com/p/pinks-29-s...

Like the wonderful American writer Wendell Berry, Adrian Bell’s desire for a return to a more sympathetic agriculture is not born out of nostalgia

An incredibly thoughtful and compelling insight to the challenges faced by British farmers - challenges that have been building for decades.

Hooray for Essex Wildlife Trust who have become custodians of a truly special place – Ronnie Blythe's old home, Bottengoms. It was poignant but also joyous to visit it again – without Ronnie – and write this story. PS hugely recommend Ian Collins's brilliant biog. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
