"RACHEL BEARN was forced to halt the pace of life when she became chronically ill in her twenties. But something born out of privation blossomed into a kinder way of living, one in harmony with the natural rhythms of the earth, the counsel of the Bible, the Church's year, and the habits that were second nature to our grandmothers... She calls it "a Christian guide to embracing the handmade and homegrown". It is a veritable Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management in some respects, packed with practical suggestions for everything from making lavender soap and and garlic butter to cutting down on screen time and and looking after your knitwear; for living life at such a pace has lost us all connection to the home, she suggests."
