What’s in a year

Step into the rhythm of the British Countryside with John Miller a she guides you through the passing of the seasons in his memoir What’s in a Year….
With a keen eye for nature and a deep connection to the land, John recounts his experiences as a countryman – from a childhood spent scrumping in Oxfordshire’s villages to his lifelong passion for observing wildlife, fishing rivers, and tending to his garden.

Each month offers a vivid portrait of the landscapes’ ever-changing beauty, from the first signs of life in spring to the melancholic notes of a robin’s song in the autumn. John’s reflections extend beyond just the flora and fauna; they delve into the urgent need for conservation and the responsibility we all share to protect the world around us.

This beautifully written memoir invites readers to slow down, reconnect with nature, and rediscover the simple yet profound wonders of the countryside. Whether you’re an avid naturalist or someone seeking peace in a fast-changing world, What’s in a Year… will inspire you to see the beauty in every season.
