#666: Lia's Almanac

Thanks to Michelle Graffagnino on the Facebook group for the recommendation of this book.

This has been published for quite a few years, and the 2027 version is now available to purchase. 

This would be a useful resource to have a copy of within the 'department' and refer to when working out some activities and foci during the year(s) that the course is taught for.

Reconnect with the seasons in Britain and Ireland with this month-by-month guide to the world around us - including tide tables, sunrises and moon phases; wildlife and folklore; seasonal recipes and more.

The Almanac: A Seasonal Guide to 2027 gives you the tools and inspiration you need to celebrate, mark and appreciate each month of the year in your own particular way.

Divided into the 12 months, a set of tables each month gives it the feel and weight of a traditional almanac, providing practical information that gives access to the outdoors and the seasons, perfect for expeditions, woodland foraging and beach holidays.

You can also sign up to receive weekly seasonal posts.

Check out the ones so far this year here.

Click and search the archive for 3 years' worth of posts, which will contain useful ideas and inspiration for following the course of the seasons and how they are reflected in the landscape.
