Field notes on nature and slow living from the East Riding…
A monthly invitation to find a more human pace. The Seasonal Almanac is my digital journal of life here in the East Yorkshire countryside. It is where I explore the biology of our seasons and the calm we find when we stop to listen. I invite you to join me to receive my monthly ‘Field Notes’ delivered directly to your inbox—a quiet moment of connection in a busy world.

I’ve just published my first entry for the year. In my latest January Field Notes, I explore why your biology actually wants you to slow down right now. From the ancient necessity of the ‘Stay-at-Home Moon’ to simple rituals like ‘Greasing the Hinges’ while the kettle boils, this edition is a permission slip to start your year with a whisper rather than a roar. If you’re feeling the mid-winter slump, come and discover why your system isn’t broken—it’s just recalibrating. Read January Field Notes: The Stay-at-Home Moon and the return of the light.
