I felt a strong affinity with the naturalist and writer Mary Gillham. I’d spent many years cycling and walking the Taff Trail — a Sustrans cycle route, stretching some 55 miles from Cardiff to Brecon — observing, recording and writing about the wildlife of the area. I had also spent many happy hours exploring Forest Farm Country Park, somewhere which Mary had got to know so well.

Roger Redfern was a true countryman who enjoyed nothing more than wandering through the hills of England, Scotland and Wales in the weekends and holidays he wasn’t teaching in a Derbyshire school.

Evergreen Magazine Description:

British history, customs and traditions are all beautifully described in Evergreen magazine.

Evergreen is Britain’s best-loved quarterly, a heart-warming collection of this and that and things gone by which takes readers on a gentle journey around the highways and byways of Britain. Explore Britain’s beautiful countryside in each seasonal issue as we call at ancient churches and unspoilt villages, uncover quaint customs and curiosities, and share stories, snippets of poetry and the words of half-remembered songs with our readers all over the world.

Our travels also take us on regular trips down memory lane, with refreshing and fond recollections of Britain in “times gone by” as we revisit summer holidays, call at the village shop, savour our favourite entertainers and cherish memorable local characters. Each issue is wonderfully packed with some 20-30 short written pieces accompanied by evocative photography with a now and then feel on the best things about Britain.
