Slow Seasons
A Creative Guide to Reconnecting with Nature the Celtic Way
Rosie Steer
Seasonal crafts, recipes and celebrations inspired by the Celtic wheel of the year
In her late-twenties, feeling utterly overwhelmed by the pace of modern city life, Rosie Steer found solace in the traditions she had been brought up with, influenced by her Scottish roots, that celebrated nature and observed the small steady shifts in the seasons.
The Celtic Wheel of the year is an ancient seasonal cycle that aligns with solar events – the solstices and equinoxes – and their rough midpoints. For each miniseason, Rosie shares nature notes for what we can look out for as the days get warmer or cooler, the nights longer or shorter, alongside activities, things to make, flowers or fruit to forage, seasonal recipes to enjoy and a modern take on the traditional celebrations.
By slowing down and paying attention to the ebbs and flows of nature, we can find moments of calm whenever we need them.
Rosie Steer embraced slow-living and found solace in the ancient naturecentric traditions of the Celtic Wheel of the Year after suffering with her mental health. She set up her newsletter and platform on Instagram as a place to track small moments of joy through the seasons and fostered a loyal following in the process. She ives and works in Edinburgh.

Unfinished Woman
Robyn Davidson
An unforgettable memoir from the author of the sensational international bestseller Tracks
In 1977, Robyn Davidson set off with a dog and four camels to cross 1,700 miles of Australian desert. What sets a young woman off on a path like this? What had she left behind her that meant that she could not look back?
In Unfinished Woman, Davidson embarks on another journey into uncharted territory: the past. In mesmerising prose, she conjures her postwar Australian childhood –where her father sheared sheep while his daughters stamped it out into the press, where Robyn’s sister rode her horse to school, where green carpet snakes winked down from the rafters while the house rippled with the sounds of her mother’s pianoplaying. And then the deadening suburbia of Moreton – where Robyn returned home from school one afternoon to find that music stopped forever.
