My water dreaming

image source: pixabay public domain As a child I swam with an almost religious dedication. I hated swimming club, (competition and people were not my thing), but I loved the zen of doing laps and would look forward to the afternoon or morning routine of diving into a cold pool and losing myself in following … Continue reading My water dreaming

This week's #BookSnapSunday is a couple of books I managed to finish in February;Bob Brown's delightful memoir Optimism and Amy Liptrot's memoir of recovering from alcoholism, The Outrun. Both books with an emphasis on nature qualify as nature reads and both were great reads. I have huge respect for the idealism and pragmatism of Bob Brown in his fight for the environment we need more leaders like Brown. Liptrot writes beautifully about the Orkney islands although I found myself frustrated by her descent into alcoholism and just wanted her to grow up and stop the destructive behaviour. Simple props for the photo my bush walking boots and my uber cheap snorkelling kit, I particularly enjoyed Liptrot's description of snorkelling in Orkney. #naturereading #naturewriting #memoir #books #bookstargram #bookstagram
#BookSnapSunday This week's book snap is Charles Massey's impressive agricultural call to arms; Call of the Reed Warbler. I am learning more about sustainable agriculture than I ever thought I needed to know. This is a fantastic book and Massey writes beautifully, capturing the wonder and beauty of the natural world while calling on farmers to manage land more sustainably and holistically. A handbook for best farming practice in Australia's demanding environment. #bookstagram #books #naturewriting #naturereading #sustainability
