As we enter the season of harvest, the earth’s energy shifts and with it we slow our bodies and minds and we become conscious of the need to conserve our energy to see us through the winter. We reap the fruits of the spring’s planting and celebrate their gifts to us, knowing they will provide us with the force to sustain our energy as the darkness and cold of winter descend.

This autumn journal is a celebration of nature’s energy and all that it offers us. But it reminds of the need to preserve and use it carefully. That has always been at the heart of everything we do at Bamford – our desire to be mindful of nature’s precious resources, to return them to the earth where we can, and to support and work in harmony with them.
