I enjoyed looking at the illustrations from The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady so much that I found my Mum's original copy that was languishing in the attic.
I’ve started dipping into the Diary every day and I’m loving Edith Holden’s nature notes, poems and snippets of folk lore. The entry for 6th March made me smile: “… tonight a toad was discovered jumping about in the hall, it must have come in through the garden door which has been standing open all day”.
