A Londoner for over twenty years, Melissa Harrison knew what it was to be insulated from the seasons.
Adopting a dog and going on daily walks helped reconnect her with the cycle of the year and the quiet richness of nature all around her: swifts nesting in a nearby church; ivy-leaved toadflax growing out of brick walls; the first blackbird’s song. Moving from scrappy city verges to ancient, rural Suffolk, where Harrison eventually relocates, this diary – compiled from her Nature Notebook column in The Times – maps her joyful engagement with the natural world.
