Photography by Alice Tatham

June | Things to Appreciate

Iona Bower June 13, 2023

A few things to see outdoors this month and a thing to do, too…

To accompany this ‘nature table’ image from our back cover by Alice Tatham, you might like to listen to our Podcast of the month from our Almanac Pages, where each month we collate a few seasonal things to note and notice, plan and do.

As The Season Turns
Lose yourself in the sights and sounds of nature each month in this charming podcast by organic perfume makers, Ffern, narrated by The Simple Things’ writer and annual author of The Almanac, Lia Leendertz.
Listen to As The Season Turns here.

The nature table image above was taken by Alice Tatham of The Wildwood Moth. She also runs workshops on seasonal photography and publishes seasonal journal stories from her home in Dorset.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
