This book is about two gifts, each unexpected and generous.
The first, the gift by Lucy Nicholson to Sister Margaret of a year in a cliff-top cottage in Anglesey, surrounded by nature and the ever-changing sea and sky.
The second was Sister Margaret’s gift to Lucy in thanks – these drawings and photographs, giving her impressions of her year's retreat.
Now, as we rediscover the attraction of our landscape and its wild inhabitants, we can share the delight revealed inside this work.

This book is sold in support of the RNLI and the Community of the Holy Name.

Bought as a Christmas present for my mum. She loved as she knows exactly where this is and can relate to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tale of Two Gifts
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 21, 2021

The generous loan of a cliff-top cottage in Anglesey in the 1990s, by the editor's mother to a nun seeking a retreat, was repaid by a booklet of handwritten nature notes, drawings and photos which were observant and warm. The hope expressed was that it would invoke many memories as the owner was too frail to visit any longer. 'Cliff Cottage' is produced well, it feels like the personal notebook it was, and is sold to benefit two charities. Buying it would go some way to 'paying back' any gift (free or otherwise) of refreshment in a quieter environment. It is asking to be left in a holiday cottage as inspiration for others to immerse themselves calmly in what is around them...

5.0 out of 5 stars A most delightful little book

The Gift of a Quiet Year is balm to the soul. Written by an Anglican nun who retreated for a year to live in the secluded cottage it is gentle, contemplative, and beautiful (but not in any way religious as such) It is in her handwriting and illustrated with her drawings, paintings and photographs. A wee gem of a book depicting the locality, its landscapes and its flora and fauna. I hope both charities benefit from this being published and sold. RNLI and the Community of the Holy Name.

After a year of remorseless lockdown, this book is a singular delight. Sister Theresa Margaret CHN is both a gifted diarist and a talented artist/photographer. My spirits rose with every page.
