It's why I loved The Outermost House by Henry Beston and why I love receiving posts from Tom Ryan Author on Substack. I can't abide the city and live there in small doses, so to hear of others experiences when they go bush, it would be fabulous!
Thanks, Prue. I think I've lived here for so long I've begun to take it for granted. I need to write more about it in order to 'see' it again before it's too late.
Thanks, too, for the recommendations. I've never read the Beston book, though I've heard about it. And Tom Ryan is new to me. I've just subscribed to his newsletter.
