Emma Mitchell has suffered with depression - or as she calls it, "the grey slug" - for 25 years. In 2003, she moved from the city to the edge of the Cambridgeshire Fens and began to take walks in the countryside around her new home, photographing, collecting, and drawing as she went. Each walk lifted her mood, proving to be as medicinal as any talking therapy or pharmaceutical.

In Emma's diary, she takes us with her as she follows the paths and trails around her cottage and further afield, sharing her nature finds and tracking the lives of local flora and fauna over the course of a year. Reflecting on how these encounters impact her mood, Emma's moving and candid account of her own struggles is a powerful testament to how reconnecting with nature may offer some answers to today's mental health epidemic. While charting her own seasonal highs and lows, she also explains the science behind such changes, calling on new research into such areas as forest bathing and the ways in which our bodies and minds respond to plants and wildlife when we venture outdoors.

Written with Emma's characteristic wit and frankness, this is a truly unique book for anyone who has ever felt drawn to nature and wondered about its influence over us.

The author has plenty of wisdom to impart but I suspect the actual book would be much more satisfying that this. There are several minutes long lists of plant, animal and bird names that she has seen, but without being able to see her illustrations or photos, it’s hard to engage with.

There are also audio fluffs left in where she starts and stops a sentence, which is very distracting.

Not sure it works as an audiobook

Well if I wasn’t depressed before I certainly am now, more about depression than nature

A soothing meditation on nature; found it gave me a much needed break from restless thoughts and a deeper appreciation of the healing power of wild places.

Might be a bit slow for some - but I loved this

The author very prosaically brings out the awesomeness of our natural surroundings and eloquently confers the positive and healing effects that can have on us. Very inspiring, not only for those with low mood, SAD, or depression. Though I’m fortunate to live in the countryside I will walk more mindfully and derive more benefit from my environment in future.

A beautiful, uplifting read.
