Skirr Cottage Diary.

Reading Roger 'Deakin's Notes from Walnut Farm'. He is one of my favourite nature writers. He is so close to the earth especially trees. His knowledge of trees and pollarding and coppicing is inspiring. He just loved wood. The book is so inspiring in fact that I spent the morning pruning shrubs in the garden, until the rain came, then it was in the workshop sanding down a lovely chair of ash, one of Roger’s favourite trees.
