*** THE INSTANT TOP TEN BESTSELLER ***HIGHLY COMMENDED FOR THE 2025 WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NATURE WRITING SHORTLISTED FOR THE RICHARD JEFFERIES AWARDPaul Lamb is a hedgelayer. He lives in his wagon and works to the rhythm of the seasons, a way of life that has almost vanished. From the end of summer until the birds nest in the spring, he travels the south-west corner of England, maintaining the ancient boundaries of our nation.

As traditional management techniques are lost to modernisation, hedgerows and the wildlife they support have declined dramatically. Paul has devoted decades to saving and rejuvenating this important but often forgotten part of Britian’s countryside.

Of Thorn & Briar is Paul’s spellbinding account of living in partnership with the land, practising his craft with skill and preserving our heritage for future generations. Once you’ve read it, you will never look at the humble hedgerow in the same way again.

‘[A] beguiling book . . . this spare but elegant account is an unexpected delight, and as soothing as a walk down a tree-dappled lane at sunset’ Daily Mail ‘Gentle, evocative and compelling’ Patrick Barkham, The Oldie ‘This is a delightful book and one that deserves to enter the pantheon of distinguished Nature writing’ Country Life

No more lost fidgets
Color: Brown
My son has a million fidgets to help him focus and this is a great tray to store them in and keep them in one place. Looks very pish posh for what it is and adds a nice bit of decor to his desk without looking juvenile.

Quality valet tray, darker brown
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
Sizing is as described and it is sturdy and well-made, but color is not quite as shown in the product images, more of a darker brown.

Very well-made, nice valet, solid wood with a silicone surface
I really do love this white BROWN wooden valet Tray. It has taken it place right next to my bed on my nightstand. Currently it contains a flashlight, my watch charger, earbuds, remote control, and a walkie-talkie. They all fit perfectly, it really keeps my stand, neat and clean looking. I like these trays because they look so much better than things just laying randomly across your nightstand. It saves things from rolling off to the back of the nightstand against the wall, where I have to flex like an acrobat to reach them. These are perfect for any works surface as well. These would be welcome in the shop. I'm sure they would be great for a teacher, a kitchen a professional at their desk. Just about anywhere you need to put small items and store them temporarily. One of the best things about it is that the bottom or at least the inside surface where you place items is not wooden. It appears to be some type of a silicone so you don't hear that wood sound when you drop things into it. It's soft and things don't roll or slide. It holds them in place exactly where you put them. The bottom came with four felt pads that you can stick on the bottom before you put it on your nightstand or wherever you're putting it. Keeps it from scratching any wooden surfaces. It has a nice rounded edges are very clean dark wood look and a great silicone mat on the inside, this is perfect for your nightstand. I really do enjoy it. Comedy no assembly required. It's well-made and it's a sturdy piece of wood. I highly recommend it.
