I suppose it mismatched my expectations: I was hoping for writing about the natural world in England, about environmental degradation and how we can reverse or at least improve it. Maddy tests out a small Hobo stove attachment that works with or without a Kelly Kettle base. Hazelnuts can be used for anything that soybeans are used for, without the detrimental affects of industrial agriculture. Ragwort caused a furore, and there was much education needed into the misuse of statistics that caused its blacklisting. We learn how between them, Victorians and sheep increased the prospect of rivers flooding. I sup. This is probably the first book I've ever read where I consider it an honour that it exists for me to read.

I couldn't stop reading this book because it was so compelling and interesting. I was surprised and thrilled by the changes to the land right along with her. Reading how letting nature take its course and can heal the earth so rapidly, as well as allow wildlife we thought would soon be gone forever to absolutely thrive has been a real eye opener - I'm a farmers son and our family thinks we know a lot about nature, how it works and what we as humans need to do to help it.
