Of the four seasonal volumes I have to say this is my favourite. It encapsulates all that is glorious about autumn beautifully.

An early start to what will be a long day. How better to start it than by reading one of #AdrianBell's essays @the_Fields_Edge? #Calming #Rural #Relevant

Published today! The final volume of Adrian Bell’s A Countryman Notebook Quartet marks the end of a 5 year project in which I’ve had the pleasure to work with @foxedquarterly to bring these beautiful essays-hidden away in the archives of the Eastern Daily Press-to a new audience.

'The Flower and the Wheel' was described by @the_Fields_Edge at #Leiston #Book #Festival as 'Adrian Bell's manifesto', so I just had to buy a copy, which arrived today. Next week's read.
I echo @parfitt_tom sentiments - it was lovely to hear engaging insights from people who are passionate about ideas and experiences.
Thank you @robertashton1 for organising the event, @abbieyvette from Halesworth Bookshop and all the volunteers who helped make it a great day.
Had a very enjoyable time taking part in the inaugural Leiston Book Festival today - alongside the great @the_Fields_Edge, the inimitable @PaddyGalbraith and others.
Many thanks to @robertashton1, @abbieyvette and the crowd who came.
