The Flowering Hedgerow, Paperback

The Flowering Hedgerow is a diary of the changing seasons and the "details of time", spanning the months from February to September--the end of winter to the end of summer--in the year 2016. In one sense a nature diary, it is also a diary of the human quotidian, giving human and nature equal weight. As flowers appear in the hedgerow with the coming of spring, so the themes of the diary gradually develop, in patches at first, then coming to full bloom and anticipating the impending fall.

Enlivened by thoughts on time, theology and technology, and centred upon a few acres of wooded ground, this diary provides subtle undergrowth into which the reader is invited to delve.
