A collection of cosy crafts, soul-nourishing recipes and slow living activities inspired by stories and traditions from Scottish folklore. Turning to her Celtic ancestors who were known for celebrating micro-seasons, Rosie Steer has reframed her mindset when it comes to Wintertime, choosing to embrace, rather than fear it.

 

Split into four parts, Go Har’st (harvest), Samhain (Hallowe’en), Howe o’theYear (the Winter Solstice) and Waretym (earliest Spring), this book celebrates the micro-joys throughout the Winter months through step-by-step projects, easy-to-make bakes, and stories of Scottish Winter folklore.

 

It's something we could all benefit from: connecting with stories from the past, immersing ourselves in nature and carving out seasonal rituals which are key to finding glimmers of light to embrace the darkness in our toughest seasons.
