The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady Edith Holden

Happy and Healthy New Year! It seems fitting to highlight this amazing diary by Lady Edith Holden started in 1906. She had decided to document the changing seasons for a year....drawing flowers, insects, animals and birds and also noting her favourite sayings and thoughts of the year. She tragically died in 1920 drowning in the Thames whilst gathering buds from chestnut tree. It lay undiscovered until the 1970s when her great neice allowed it to be published.
