Synopsis
This publication continues Ronald Blythe's celebrated "Word from Wormingford", though with a difference. For here, a village record moves further into the personal life of a writer who is not only a "working" part of the small community to which he has belonged for so many years, but who in many respects is isolated from it. Intimacy and distance are revealed as having their contrasting places in this both imaginative interpretation of the English countryside at the close of the 20th century.

From the Publisher
In this successor to his much–loved Word from Wormingford, Ronald Blythe observes: “These little essays... reflect the pattern that literature, liturgy, the seasons and solitude have made of my existence.” Writing from his home in the glorious, leafy setting of Stour Valley, and following the old triple calendar of rural life—the church year, the farming year, and his own personal year—he offers a fresh and inspiring view of life in the English countryside.
