I have wanted to read this book for a while. As somebody who seeks solace in nature, especially when my depression and anxiety worsen, I am always interested in reading about other peoples experiences.
A long time sufferer of depression Emma describes her ‘Grey Slug’ through the seasons and she uses nature to improve her mental well-being along with conventional help. She lives in the Cambridgeshire fens and sees a variety of wildlife from insects to mammals and wild flowers such as the Bee Orchid as she explores her local area.
Even during her darkest days, when she is unable to go out of the house to emerse herself in nature, she relies on watching birds in her garden.
This lovely book is soothing and inspirational. Her writing transports you to the world around her, while her beautiful illustrations and photographs are a joy to look at. This book is proof that nature can help mend us.
