Through the prism of family gardens, he reflects on how we reconcile our childhoods with where we end up as adults. Growing up in a violent home, as a young boy Marc found solace and safety in his small back garden. In particular, in its shed, where he stumbled across an incomplete set of old encylopaedias. These books, and observing the plants and insects in his private kingdom, began his lifelong love of learning and openness to the world. Throughout his journey from youth to age, which included a period living homeless in the countryside, Marc has found the answers to life's questions in the nature around him. This memoir, with line drawings by the author, encourages us back in tune with the natural world and offers both consolation and a guide to a happier life.

She casts out everything that got her into trouble: her phone, socials, make-up and a tendency to tell little white lies – to herself and others. But home has its own issues, not least Lottie’s staunchly feminist mother, who is furious with her.When Lottie lands herself a place to stay in exchange for helping kindly Mrs Brooker try out the Kondo method, it seems like the perfect farm escape. That’s until Angus, Lottie’s former Peach King and heir to the Brooker orchards, makes it clear she’s not welcome – especially when Lottie’s declutter begins to stir up long buried memories and half-truths.As Lottie finds her way back to herself, can she use her talents to coax Bonnievale and the Brookers out of the past? After all, everyone deserves to feel love, hope and the occasional spark of joy.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Author: </span>Wasley, Sasha<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>[Place of publication not identified] : Pantera Press, 2021<br />1 online resource (1 text file)<br /><br />Online Service - (Tameside) - Digital Resource - BorrowBox - eBook - eBook - Borrow this eBook - DUMMY<br /> https://tameside.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/WPAC/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&BRN=3657324&CF=BIB Seven entertaining audio readings of best-loved children's springtime stories for children of three years and over to enjoy over Easter!This audio download is a heritage-rich collection showcasing some of the best-loved characters in children's literature.
