The Quiet Fields: Fennel's Journal No. 7

by Fennel Hudson

'The Quiet Fields' is about those remote, rural, places where Nature exists undisturbed and where we may where we may sit and ponder ‘The Wonder of the World’. The book tips its hat to the nature writing of BB, revealing the ‘Lost England’ that still exists if you know where and how to look. It is the most sentimental and astutely observed Journal to date, discussing the ‘true beauty’ of Nature. If you’ve ever yearned to hear birdsong during a busy day, then this is the book for you. Fennel’s Journal is the heartfelt and entertaining account of one man’s search for an old-fashioned and peaceful rural life. Written by eccentric English countryman Fennel Hudson, the Journal traces his attempts to balance the pressures of modern living by following the mantra of ‘Stop – Unplug – Escape – Enjoy’. Brought to life by a mixture of thought-provoking and humorous incidents, Fennel’s writing is deeply personal, self-effacing, and honest. As one reader commented, “Fennel is the only author who can make me laugh out loud and cry in the same sentence. His Journal had me constantly in tears, for all the right reasons”. About the Fennel Hudson is a lifestyle and countryside author known for his Fennel’s Journal publication and Fennel’s Priory website and broadcasts. He is a traditionalist who values old-fashioned things and champions a relaxing and peaceful rural life. Much of his writing centres on what he calls ‘The Quiet Fields’ – those quiet corners of the landscape where time moves slowly and nature exists undisturbed.

About the author

Hi, I'm Fennel. I'm a nature writer, outdoorsman and conservationist. You've probably never heard of me. That's fine. I've spent most of my life hiding in hedgerows.

I've written more than 20 books about the countryside, rural life and outdoors pursuits. I've edited three magazines, contribute to fly fishing publications, host the Nature Writer podcast, and do my best to 'Stop - Unplug - Escape - Enjoy'.
