Drawn to the Country

Since moving to the country just over a decade ago I have been compelled to record the beauty I find in the every-day, as the seasons come and go, and for a few years now, I have been sharing my thoughts and sketches on rural life through this blog.

I am, however, also a big fan of printed matter, of proper books with paper pages that can you can flick through over morning coffee. Books that will spend an evening with you on the sofa, lodge by your bedside or cheer up a good friend.

With this in mind, I'm really excited to announce the publication of DRAWN TO THE COUNTRY.

Arranged seasonally, over 128 pages, the book takes you through the delights and challenges of a year in the Suffolk countryside... You'll hear about my gardening exploits, be introduced to my chickens, meet some extraordinary Suffolk characters and take some day trips to the coast and beyond!  

"Mary has beautifully captured the unique character of my home county Suffolk in this delightful book."
