Description: This is a diary of "quarantine" during the New Crown Epidemic. It is about the secluded routines of rural life in spring, summer, fall and winter: farming, sheep herding, bird watching, walking, listening to the rain, enjoying the clouds... Gardening writer Monty Don uses meticulous and vivid words to record what he sees, feels, gains and loses during the year, to paint the countryside, to reminisce about the old days, and to celebrate the spirit of all living things. The world is a big place, but no one is an island, in the sky, in the mountains, in the jungle, in the wilderness, in the garden... No matter when or where we are, our lives are connected to nature.
