Congratulations Lydia - I couldn't put this book down!Yesterday I collected my Evergreen book from Waterstones a day before the official release and last night I wasn’t able to put the book down, it is FANTASTIC! Better than I ever expected and I already had high expectations. I have also ordered the audio version on Audible to listen to while walking. Lydia pours everything into the book about her own personal experiences and how walking in nature has really helped her survive and thrive.I have been following Lydia's journey since the early days of her YouTube channel and I first stumbled upon her fashion content after my sister had passed away. In times of grief Lydia's content was a source of inspiration and comfort, she wasn’t just sharing her style tips but also much of her life which is no easy task. Over the years Lydia's style, content and tastes have evolved and continued to inspire me especially the seasonal content which she shares in this book. I have seen Lydia go through much controversy, hate and online bullying over the years and found it horrendous and often wondered how Lydia coped through it all. I recently read Steven Bartlett's book Diary of a CEO and he says something along the lines of 80% of people won't like you and 20% will and that is ok. You have to stand for what you believe in and won't please everyone and that’s a good thing.The book is a triumph and a true walk with Lydia through the seasons as she offers advice on how to live your best life, take inspiration from your surroundings and thrive through the highs and the lows.What a marvellous read and even the lady on the counter in Waterstones said - wow that is a pretty book!Buy it!!! Lydia I am already awaiting your next book - Thank you for sharing your journey and wisdom with us.

Love, love, love this book. Great reference book. Can dip in and out though out the year.

I’ve enjoyed reading this book. There are lots of useful self help tips, written based on the 4 seasons and the author’s own life experience. I’m sure I’ll continue to refer back to the advice in the future.

Have read this book twice & bought it for friends as a gift, so easy to read and whisks you away into nature a sheer breath of fresh air.Hard back beautifully designed cover.

While the book is pretty and written nicely in terms of calligraphy, it’s absolutely pointless as brings nothing new to my life

I absolutely loved reading this book I couldn’t put it down.
