Simple Pleasures

From the delight of seeing the first blossom of spring to the anticipatory pleasure of planting a seed, this book reminds us how much happiness can be found in the smallest things. The writing is tender and uplifting with touches of humour. A gift book balm for the soul in our increasingly screen-based, disconnected world. It's a theme that has been supercharged by the experience of lockdown.
