Product Information

A perfect toolkit for connecting with the world around us and the year ahead as it unfolds – all in a compact and pocket size guide that just begs you to pick it up and browse. I don’t want to look back at my life and think I held back, that I didn’t stand up for what is right, that I didn’t make the positive change I could have because I didn’t want to make some people upset at me. As I was thinking about my father’s life, I realized that he always stood up for what he believed was right, no matter the consequences.

Santa Fe has become a special place for my children, where they have spent time with their grandfather and father. Contents include key dates, tide tables and garden tasks; constellations and moon phases; sunrises and folk songs; seasonal recipes and a 'bun of the month'. Reconnect with the seasons in Britain and Ireland with this month-by-month guide to the world around us – including key dates, tide tables and garden tasks; constellations and moon phases; sunrises, folk songs, seasonal recipes plus a ‘bun of the month’; and – because 2023 will be a good year for planet spotting – the solar system and the zodiac. Always reliable and entertaining, this handy yellow book is a “true” Almanac—a calendar of the heavens, a time capsule of the year, and an essential reference that reads like a magazine. But I've seen enough to know I'll be revisiting it throughout the year, because that is the whole point of the book - it's an almanac.

Beautifully illustrated by Elly Jahnz and written by nature-lover and wild swimmer Anna Wilson, this fantastic, fully illustrated guide to 2022 includes nature spotter guides, indoor and outdoor craft and activity ideas, seasonal recipes and celebrations of religious festivals and special events.
