Description
In 1969, Kenneth Allsop left behind the city lights for a life in rural west Dorset. He found solace in the sunken lanes, ancient forests and chalk streams that surrounded him. For three years, he shared his daily experiences with the world through a weekly newspaper column.
Here, he recounts his time in this idyllic corner of England, where the rhythms of nature and the changing seasons became an integral part of his life. Through essays and reflections, Allsop captures the essence of a bygone era, when the pace of life was slower and the beauty of the natural world was ever-present.
This collection of writings offers a unique glimpse into a way of life that is both nostalgic and timeless. With its focus on the natural world and the human experience, it will appeal to anyone who loves the countryside and the stories that unfold within it.
