The Circle of Our Lives (The Harcombe Year Book 2) By Diana Alexander Kindle Edition The Circle of Our Lives (The Harcombe Year Book 2) Life, loss and family: The diary of in a Cotswold Farmhouse kitchen with nineteen original family recipes. The rolling seasons are the pulse of life at Harcombe Farm – seedtime and harvest, winter frost and summer sun, the greening of the land, the blooming of wild flowers, the golden crops followed by the browning of the autumn landscape, the amazing views seen through skeletal winter trees Wife, grandmother and journalist, Di Alexander reflects upon the goings on in the hectic merry go round of her farmhouse kitchen. Life has changed since she penned her first account of life on the farm, The Harcombe Year. Beloved friends and neighbours have had good news and bad, and her role has grown in the village church that happens to belong to the smallest parish in England. Her home is still the same unassuming corner of England that has welcomed all comers for generations. Amongst the warmth and good humour of everyday life are the touching and meaningful encounters with a star cast of artists, the Nobel Prize winning scientist Fred Sanger and a half wild pony in need of a good friend and a steady hand. Now Di considers how much of life, with its joys and sorrows, has come a full circle and realises that whatever the changes, it is reassuring clear that the old rural traditions live on in this quirky little corner of England. Nineteen unusual and delicious family recipes are shared for the first time. Reviews for The Harcombe Year (2014) ‘Beautiful’ ~ Vicky Bennett, Chipping Campden Literature Festival ‘A real little treasure and a labour of love’ ~ This England magazine ‘An absolutely delightful, life affirming book’ ~ UK ‘Written with warmth, verve and humour’ ~ This England magazine
