Lia Leendertz is a seasonal expert, writer, and host of As the Season Turns Podcast. She produces a yearly almanac which is currently on its fifth edition.
Lia's almanacs reinvent the tradition of the rural almanac for a new audience. They gives you the tools and inspiration you need to celebrate, mark and appreciate each month of the year in your own particular way, providing practical information that gives access to the outdoors and the seasons - perfect for expeditions, meteor-spotting nights and beach holidays. There are also features on each month’s unique nature, such as the meteor shower of the month, beehive behaviour, folklore, seasonal recipes and charts tracking moon phases and tides.
This week, Gemma and Lia discuss what almanacs are and how they have been used for centuries, Lia's writing process and how this has changed her perspective on seasonal change, and how dog walking is an exercise in seasonal mindfulness.
