The Things That Move Us, Nature & Running with Carly Holmes & Natalie Ann Holbrow

Part running diary, part love letter to South Wales, Wild Running is a funny, honest and creative exploration of fourteen trail runs in South Wales. Prize-winning poet Natalie Ann Holborow invites you to join her as she runs through shaded woods, sun-bleached sand dunes and rocky outcrops while avoiding being attacked by sheep. Peppered with historical snippets, folklore tangents and observations of nature, this is a book about creativity and what the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other can unlock in us emotionally and physically. This is simply a book for anyone who wants to feel their body come alive.

Love Letters on the River is a lyrical, honest and tender tribute to the many creatures - both in the garden and beyond that bring joy to Author Carly Holmes' life simply by existing. Recording encounters and missed encounters with the wildlife that surrounds the Teifi, this collection of essays, beautifully illustrated throughout, tells the story of the the river that winds through Carly’s days. It is the story of the beautiful Teifi valley, and its wild animals - the badgers who visit nightly for peanuts; the juvenile osprey who learned to fish on the estuary across the lane; the young jackdaw Carly nurtured until it was healthy enough to ignore her whenever she went into the garden - are at the very heart of it. The books will be for sale at the event.
