Angela Harding is a printmaker and artist, who lives in Rutland and works from the shed at the bottom of her garden. This stunning seasonal quarter of books makes a lovely gift for any nature fan, including yourself!
Spring, at all of its stages, has an energy that engages us with the outside world.
Taking in views from the author’s homely studio to the Scottish wilderness, via the low-lying marshlands of Suffolk and the windswept hills of Yorkshire.
The wildflower bank outside my window hums and buzzes. At midday, the summer sun spreads the perfume of roses and honeysuckle, to every corner.
My encounters with nature are very personal. I am inspired by watching jays gathering acorns, owls hooting and the joy of hearing nightingales.
When the snow falls quickly, it brings dramatic change. Hare, rabbit and bird tracks become visible in the lanes and fields.
