You, madam, should be ennobled (if we believed in that bollocks) for your services to the nation’s well-being by encouraging engagement with the natural heartbeat of this green and pleasant land. At the very least you should be carried high on a verdant litter on Beltane wearing Bridget Christie’s Eel Queen headdress while all the children of the land festoon you with floral tributes.
With The Stubborn Light and Encounter and now this, you are willing into being a renewal of our relationship with what’s around us which will heal us. Attenborough and the Springwatch crew may lead us to the water, but you go further and show us how to drink. More power to you.
And if preorder and then miss out on a chance to have bought a signed copy with a special message in it that might win me a weasel skull or something similarly iconic, harsh words will be had.
Looks fantastic. Congratulations! It sounds a little bit like an I-Spy book for grown-ups, which is something I have long craved (on the assumption I shall one day become a grown-up).
This is such a lovely idea and impossible to resist! Many years ago I stayed in a cottage where the previous owner had kept a nature record for each year. It was such a fascinating document and a prompt such as this would encourage me to do the same!
Congrats to you. Preordered.
What a lovely idea—a truly useful and beautiful book. Can’t wait to hold my copy.
Oh wow, that looks beautiful!!!! Congratulations Melissa!
Pre ordered! Looks stunning and just what I’ve been looking for🥰 xx
Congratulations Melissa! Looks gorgeous....
Thank you!
Looks lovely and very inspiring.
This is an absolute gem! Can’t wait to see it.

I read that as 'verdant otter' and was briefly terribly excited.
Very cool! Congratulations!
:-D

On that last point: personally, I'm still waiting.
I'm so excited for this book. I'm going to buy it for all my family and friends for Christmas!
That's the spirit!
As a nature connected coach the key thing I'm helping people rediscover is noticing. Love love this! Thank you!
Do you know Miles Richardson's work? I think you might find it fascinating! https://findingnature.org.uk/
I do now! Thank you. Definitely checking it out. Best of luck to you and congratulations on getting the book published!
Thank you! :-D
Excellent, very much looking forward to it, and well done for keeping quiet about it without exploding into a blaze of blossom and birdsong 😊
Thank you, it was CLOSE!
What a brilliant idea. Congratulations!
Thanks (and hello!) :-D
So pleased to see this. What a lovely idea.

Ooh I'd have liked to have seen that!
