Staying in a self-catering holiday cottage can give you so much more flexibility than staying in a hotel. Without meals at designated times, you can eat breakfast when it suits you, whether you are up with the lark or fancy a lie-in. It’s then up to you to decide whether to cook up something delicious yourself or head out to a local café for a leisurely brunch. This is such a peaceful and endearing read, especially if you enjoy birds. It’s so refreshing to read about people who follow their dream and resist the forces and expectations of society. The open-plan living space boasts a wealth of features such as exposed beams, wood flooring and a stylish woodburning stove and is the perfect place to curl up with your loved one and enjoy spending some quality time together. We have chosen a range of self-catering holiday cottages in England, Scotland and Wales that are all recommended because of their proximity to RSPB nature reserves or areas where there are an abundance of different species of birds. As well as birds you should also be able to see other wild animals in their natural environment as well as walk, hike, ride, cycle, fish, sail and take part in other outdoor pursuits. Berättelsen har två parallella spår. Ett handlar om Lens kronologiska liv som börjar med den välbärgade uppväxten i en dysfunktionell familj, det andra behandlar fåglarna.

Every morning, he flew to Len Howard, who lived in the cottage in his garden, just as he had always done. But instead of taking the peanut she offered him and moving on with his business – working on his nest, singing for his partner – he sat down on her lap and slept. He often did not even eat his peanut.

Ihr abgeschiedenes Leben im „Vogelhaus“ und ihre besondere Beziehung zu den hiesigen Kohlmeisen habe ich hingegen sehr gerne verfolgt. Ich kann mich auch einfach sehr gut mit Menschen identifizieren, die ihre Zeit lieber in der Gesellschaft von Tieren verbringen und den Kontakt zu Menschen reduzieren. Ich finde es unheimlich faszinierend, dass ihr die scheuen Tiere so nah kamen, in ihrem Haus schliefen und sie bei Gefahr sogar um Hilfe baten. Solch innige Beziehungen zwischen Mensch und Tier berühren mich ganz grundsätzlich, ich bin aber froh, dass dieses besondere Verhältnis nie kitschig dargestellt wurde. Denn obwohl Len Howard die Tiere und ihre Studien sehr am Herz lagen, hat sie der Natur ihren Lauf gelassen. Das gefiel mir sehr gut. Howard got to know the birds intimately as individuals, and they her. She studied their relationships and behaviour, and wrote down their biographies and songs.

En bästsäljande roman (i Nederländerna) om ett spännande ämne och med ett vittert fruntimmer i centrum, dessutom författad av en filosof – vad kan gå fel? En hel del visar det sig. Språket först och främst, imponerar inte på mig. Jag saknar att komma karaktärerna nära och att bli engagerad. Jag funderar på vem som skulle uppskatta den här boken… Inte deprimerade för man bli deprimerad. Inte fågelintresserade för det är ren antropomorfism. Möjligen de med sömnsvårigheter… Located on the northern edge of Bodmin Moor, this home from home provides the perfect spot to explore the spectacular North Cornwall coast, a coastline that is a firm favourite with walkers and cyclists who wish to take in the breathtaking views along the South West Coast Path.

Len Howard isn’t impressed with people. She really doesn’t care to follow the expectations of her generation: grow up, marry, have kids. Len is independent, quiet, and really not affected by what others think. When she turns forty, she does the one thing that she knows will make her happy. She moves to Sussex, buys a small old cottage, and begins her study of the birds that live around her. Actually writing two very successful books, she was able to study and explain habits of wild birds while they lived freely in their natural habitat. Howard leeft echt met de vogels, die alles voor haar zijn. De ramen staan altijd open en vogels vliegen in en uit. Ze slapen in nestkastjes in haar slaapkamer. Howard is er van overtuigd dat alle laboratoriumonderzoeken voor vertekende resultaten zorgen. Simpelweg omdat de omgeving kunstmatig is en dieren zich dus nooit zullen gedragen zoals ze in de natuur zouden doen. Voor ieder ander zou Howard's manier van leven een opoffering zijn. Maar niet voor haar. Het is voor haar de enige manier van leven.Wonderfully light and airy with a high ceiling supported by exposed beams and stud work. Double doors open from the living area to the east-facing terrace and private garden – great for the summer months, and a modern designer log burner exudes heat throughout the room in the winter. The spectacular Birdhouse was designed by James Wyatt for Isaac Hawkins Browne, a wealthy iron and coal industrialist. This funded Browne’s Grand Tour of Europe and he returned with antiquarian tastes to inspire the creation of his Shropshire estate. Our secluded Landmark for two is its epitome, perched above a natural ravine known as the Dingle, through which flows a tributary of the River Wharfe. The valley’s natural qualities were enhanced by a pupil of Capability Brown, William Emes, and later by John Webb. Nestled in a serene landscape

Wat een prachtig boek. Stil, ingetogen, filosofisch. Soms ook eenzaam, melancholisch en verdrietig. Eva Meijer was voor mij een onbekende, maar wat schrijft ze prachtig. In dit geval over de Britse Len Howard, die twee baanbrekende boeken over tuinvogels op haar naam heeft staan. Howard leidde een bijzonder leven. Ze kwam uit een gefortuneerde familie en koos er in eerste instantie voor om als violiste in een orkest in Londen te spelen. Een geromantiseerde biografie over het leven van Gwendolen Howard , een vrouw die haar tijd ver vooruit is, zowel in haar visie op relaties als door haar grote mate van zelfstandigheid en ambitie. De schrijfster laat Len zelf haar verhaal vertellen.
