The Almanac: A Seasonal Guide to 2020 by Lia Leendertz
5.0
As a child growing up in Portugal, my parents used to buy from street sellers on train stations a famous almanac, almost a century in existence, called BORDA D'ÁGUA. The fact that, in an age before the internet, you could so easily have in your hands so much curious information about planting, gardening, tides, facts and dates was a source of endless amazement to me.
As an adult, it was with great joy that I came across Lia Leendertz folk-ish almanac. It has given me, my wife, and our little baby daughter, a source of endless pleasure while exploring our local park. The hedgerow section (unfortunately gone from 2021 edition) was what first made us fall in love with it - and to this day we are still trying to spot a chiffchaff here in Germany!
But the recipes, the lore and, to a lesser extent, the songs are what had me buy all editions, from 2018 to 2021. I intend to revisit each and everyone of them every single year, using them to continue getting in touch with the sensual world around me, from the sights under my eyes to the scents and flavours in my kitchen.
Lia, you rock!
