Her childhood companion was a blind gander called Beep Beep who thought she was his wife. She nearly postponed her wedding when a pair of wrens nested in a hole by her back door and cut it very fine to fledge their chicks into an assorted audience of cats and magpies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection of essays, beautifully illustrated throughout, are each of them love letters to the Teifi valley and to the river that winds through Carly’s days. The 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 she nurtured until it was healthy enough to ignore her whenever she went into the garden; the cuckoos she discovered in flagrante one afternoon on a lockdown walk - are the very heart of it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55749902074229,"sku":"9781917140263","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781917140263","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
