Divided into the four seasons, Two for Joy will help you understand what’s happening on farms and in hedgerows throughout the year; show us the animals we might see around us and what they’re busy doing; bring to life the stories behind countryside superstitions and folklore; revisit old traditions and show us how we can include them today; and encourage us to look up at the trees, sky and stars.
Gentle undulations in the open fields, like the ripples of a wave, become easier to see in the filtered light an hour or two before dusk.

Barrow is an old dialect word for an earth mound, but they have other names… howe in the North, low in Cheshire and Staffordshire, while in Gloucestershire they're called tumps. Whether you read this book in the depths of winter in an armchair by the fire, or on a picnic rug in a field on a sunny day, it promises to open your eyes to the awe-inspiring powers of our uniquely British countryside in ways you’ve never noticed before. From 1st July 2021, VAT will be applicable to those EU countries where VAT is applied to books - this additional charge will be collected by Fed Ex (or the Royal Mail) at the time of delivery. Shipments to the USA & Canada: A map shows it marked as tumulus but there's rarely a sign or an information board to explain what that means. What you would be looking at is a "house of the dead". Long barrows are the work of the first farmers who worked the land and herded wild animals. There are hundreds of these Neolithic structures all over the country.I share Adam’s love of farming and wildlife and I found this to be a fascinating and indispensable guide to our wonderful countryside.
