About the book >.>.> This book is a compilation of short pieces I contributed to our villag magazine ‘The Chalk Stream’ over the past five years. When fo various reasons I decided to stop several people told me they would miss reading my monthly ‘Thoughts’ and encouraged me to gathe them up into a more permanent format which might also reach wider readership. The idea of producing a book took root and this i the result. It has been a pleasure to revisit and expand on the original version (I often wanted to write more than there was space for in the magazine). It has also been a truly marvellous gift to have the suppor of the Stratton Art Group and photographer Eric Crichton. Detail- of their beautiful illustrations and photographs are listed at the end of the book. I also want to thank my children Will Pen and John for their patient help with copy-checking and putting me right when my punctuation or thoughts have gone astray. Partially the articles are a memoir ranging across many years of a life-long love of gardening and the natural world. Writing the book has evoked many long-lost happy memories and I hope that reading it may stir similar thoughts in other people. From the outset I intended that money raised from selling the book would be shared between Weldmar Hospicecare and Julia’s House Children’s Hospice two local charities which have been close to my heart for many years. Thank you for buying the book and helping raise funds to support the wonderful work they do in our community. (LL)
