dipper flew past, calling

'Never a day goes by when I don't realise how lucky I am to live where I do . . . ' So says writer Tricia Harris as she begins a year-long diary of the 'private nature reserve' that is her garden. With a tumbling stream, nearly three acres of woodland and a wonderful patch of organic garden cultivated with wildlife in mind, Woody Glen is an amateur environmentalist's dream. In this delightful book Tricia tells of everything from the deer to the squirrels, the buzzards to the dippers and the bees to the butterflies that bring enchantment to this special corner of Cumbria, in the far north of England.
